I don't know of to many people that would have a use let along roon for a thing such as that........... :shock:
I'll break out my small change and run right out and buy 1 or make that 2 instead, 1 for a spare backup.................... :twisted:

HEHEHE, 2400 OF THE 500GIG. Man, tha'ts a lot of storage. I think just 2 of that 500gig is enough for me:).

[liqnit]

it is a lot of storage but with demand for HD video and such
more space is needed .

Just keep in mind that there were times that a floppy ranging 100KB-1.2MB was something you barely get filled up ;)

Times are changing, data gets enormous and storage will always be welcome...
Time will tell :)

Yep I remember back when the IBM XT came out with 10MB HD and we said we would never fill it. HA HA :roll:

Impressive, I remember the days when programs and games were in floppy disks.

I think that this is a good move, in a near future you could use it with the new formats and programs that needs GBs and GBs of memory

At the time, my one friend had an Apple with a text based adventure game on it and my other friend had an IBM XT with a spreadsheet application on it.

Guess where I hung out?

i rememnber my apple IIc an dmy dream was to get a memory upgrade .
i think it was to 16mb or so ..

[3D_Mind]

That is enough space to hold 150000 full DVD movies at 8GB each, which is more movies then have ever been created by man kind!

Or, every movie made by man kind along with every song and piece of music ever composed by man kind with space left over for every video game ever released! No fooling! :shock:

let's not forget the big 5 1/4 floppy disks:)>

Dual 5.25 floppies was what my first PC used, there weren't any HD's at that time for home users. We were in heaven when the first MFM HDs hit the market, full heigth 5.25 form format............. :shock:
