IBM 340MB MicroDrive is shipping!

article published on 27 June, 1999

IBM started to ship their brand new solution for PDAs, HDD with 340MB storage capacity in ONE inch small chip, called as MicroDrive!

I know...I had a 256 Mb HDD then, and I used to think mp3 stood for Media Player 3!
its just I couldn't resist! no offense intended.
lolz, back then I didn't even know there are full version games! all I knew was the shareware!

Hehe...there was a time when a 20MB 5.25" hard drive was an amazing new device that cost over $2,000.

If you browse around for some of the older hacker faqs, you find a lot of guides for credit card fraud...and they usually have a line like, "AMEX is the best because there is no limit, you could afford a 40MB hard drive!"
