Anyone remember the "good ole days" of hardware?
02/26/12 10:34 PM


The BBS discussion reminds me of the "First" computer I had...

When a 200 meg hard drive was $200, and now you can get 2 terabyte drives cheaper.

When a 1/2 meg video card cost more than some 1 Gig video cards now cost.

That I pay $30 for broadband and I used to pay $20 for dial up.

When sound cards were over $200 and now they're cheap for 7.1 surround sound.

14" color monitors were $200 and now you can get 22" widescreen monitors cheaper.

My first 4X CD reader was $200, and now I have a $22 DVD R/W setup.

4 Megs of Memory was $200, now you can get 16 GB cheaper.

My 33 MHZ 486 cpu cost more than 2.6 ghz dual cores cost now.

Boy technology has advanced.
