If you took a 128 GB HD back to their time, you'd be a god.

I have a 250GB :(

But, you know, this isn't really that long ago. I remember using a computer with an 80MB HD not to long ago (many years, of course)

Yeah, things change quick. That is why people must upgrade their computer to stay on top every year, or sooner. Technology is moving along and not stopping for anyone :wink:


I also have a 250gig. Got it for $65

I only have an 80 gig hard drive, and I've used about 65 gigs so far. I'll need to get an external soon. :?
