Ok,
Who here remembers when hard disks were measured in dollars per
megabyte? How about hundreds of dollars per megabyte? Joey and I

Machines are so fast today, and yet, in the early 80s, IBM was able
to build a system with 1.9 MIPS & 6MB RAM that delivered sub-second
response time to 70 on-line users.
