Oh yeah... Well my HP 9000 200 meg disk pack is bigger than yours! I had one, when I managed the College of Business, that when anyone on the system did a KSAM sort the thing would walk across the floor like an out of balance washing machine. I fixed it by hiring a teaching assistant whose job was to sit on the disc pack when the classes started doing sorts. That and he was supposed to watch when the AC froze up and started spitting ice out of the vents. He was supposed to cover the disc packs with garbage bags... Ahhh that was the life.

Yeah, but that's not really a fair comparison. You could put 50 megabytes of data on that monster. Fifty MILLION bytes. Do you realize how long you'd have to type to fill that thing?

Kids these days.
