2 years ago an 8.4gig cost me about 240 bucks. I waited and waited and guess what? a 30 gig for 103 buck + 14 shipping, hmm I couldn't resist and so I just ordered it a few day ago and expecting it sometime friday or monday. Actually um hehe, a couple of month ago I payed about 125 + 14 shipping for a 17.2gig seagate well that alot of storage for me but 30gig for less then what I got before is even better!!!

Getting close to about 10 years ago, I remember a client debating adding another drive for additional storage to the network. The size of that drive was a whopping 1 gig (in those days, that was big). I think they were talking around $10k for purchase.

5 years ago I paid $65 for 8Meg of RAM and that was an awesome price.

PCs are a strange industry as thing get better and faster AND cheaper. Be great if everything worked that way (cars, houses, prostitutes(DOH!)).

LOL qball. Car, electricity bill, house bill, grocery bill never get cheaper do they? They go up instead. The thing about computer is that it get so cheap theseday that anyone could afford at least one or for some even 3 just to play around with. I guess for those who have waited to buy their computer have actually saved alot now then for them to buy it say a year ago. A 14' monitor use to cost at least 300 buck, it got so ridiculous cheap now that it cost 1/3 then buying a 13' TV set. Now the biggest harddrive 80 gig cost about 300 dollar. 100gig, 200gig isn't far from here. The problem with FAT32 is still limited to 64 gig per partition with cluster size of 32? So using 32gig per partition would be more pratical as it save you more space using 16K cluster.
