As long as we're tripping down memory lane ...

I remember when an 80MBy PCMCIA (CardBus) was considered extraordinary!

Then again, the first computer I programmed had 5 misrosecond core memory
with 4096 words of 18 bits each ... the Lincoln Labs TX-0.  A 5 minute discussion
about the machine's workings  was enough information to kick off my lifelong
career.  BTW, the person explaining the TX-0 described what I later found to be
a von Neumann architecture computer ... without mentioning John von Neumann
