Well, I'm only 35 and I remember all that stuff. I remeber bitching a blue streak when I had to pay $2.50 for single 8" floppy to use in my Commal class in High school. At the time 5.25 inch disks had dropped to under a buck each and I had just ordered 100 mixed color ones to split up with my friends. Everyone in the class looked at me like I talking Klingon. Today it's nearly impossible to 3.5" Double Density Disks, and my Palm can run all the Commodore programs I had back in the day. 64MB is HUGE when the program was designed to work in 64K. Hell, my first Hard drive was 40MB and cost $899 dollars!!!!! My Palm has a 256MB SD CARD that I could lick and stick on a letter and I got it for $60.
