"...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

what really is the point of that? ah, well... it'll probably cost an arm and a leg too.

and is that single layer, or dual layer?

Jup. Go back for years and tell someone you've got an 250GB HD, they'll laugh at you.Tell em you find a way to fill it up.  They'll lock you up.

20GB.

I know for quite sure because my old rig was from that year, perhaps june '01, but I'm not sure. Not later anyway. My dads rig, 3,5 years old,  had 2 30GB drives in it out of the store. Mind, that thing costed 10.000 guilders. (Call it 5 grand in euro's), and had only top of the line, fastest as can go parts in it. Was outdated 6 months after buying it.

Dual 160?  Jesus.

I've got an 80 gigger in my dekstop, plus a 40GB drive from the old rig containing my completely legally ripped music. (13GB, I'll let you figure out the rest.) Then there's a 20 gig HD in my laptop, but that's mainly windows and office. My dad as a dual 80GB setup in is new rig, and my llittle brother got a dual 80GB setup too, since that's my dad's old rig.

I hate both of them for that....

This has always tickled me.  I remember looking at this catalog in 1998 and dreaming of owning the black computer (their top of the line desktop at the time), and nowdays you can get a computer with the same specs for $100.

From an Office Depot 1998 Summer catalog:


And that price doesn't include the monitor even :p

well i'm sure for someone that makes DVDs for a living or hobby or whatever, instead of spending 10 minutes burning one, you could do 300 in the time it took to do one...

i find it difficult to fill a 40 gig hd. my old 500mgz rig only had an 8 gig drive (wich never got full while i was using it).  right now i run a 40 gig and a 20 gig, and i back everything up to my 40 gig ipod. my data barely eats up 15 gigs of drive space. i dont get what you all are doing with theese 100+ gig hard drives.

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.
