So as through a glass, and darkly

Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me.

Wow, I suddenly feel good about my IBM Deskstars (20.4 GB and 8 GB, respectively).

80's? Don't you mean 286, maybe 386? And the Euro didn't exist back then. :p

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Up until the mid 90's I had a custom built 386 20mhz desktop with 4 or 8mb of RAM, 60MB HD, Windows 3.1 over DOS. 256 color monitor, 4x CD-ROM, 16bit SB Card. Was pretty simple but it ran Gunship 2000 pretty good :)

my biggest concern is that processors have stopped evolving.  ive had the same 2.4 ghz processor for about 2 years now and theyve only pushed it another 1 ghz last i checked. i kinda thought wed be running full 64 bit by now.


And that wasn't even a proportionate GHz increase.....

I have a 28GB and 80Gb HD, incidentally.  Just got the latter, although it's pretty full of installed-yet-never-played games and the odd DVD-rip (copies of my borthers flims).

Yep, games with a 2GB+ install can sap your capacity pretty quick.  

I was working from home recently doing a Quicktime animation for DVD and I soon used up 20GB of space with various renders/movie files.

I have SATA drives, which are excellent - a 160 which is 3/4 full, and a 120 which is about 1/4 full.  I have to get some way of backing everything up next.....

Lib, 360 GBs looks like a lot but it isn't... you can normally fill it one third of it in one week so...

i dunno dude... maybe if you were TRYING to fill it up, but you'd have to fill like 700+ MB per hour (11 megabytes+ per minute), for a week.  unless if you've got 25+ hard-drive intensive games :p (Doom 3, Ravenshield, Warcraft III, etc.)
