That was my thought. Otherwise that house has a five-foot wide door to the bathroom.

Makes me wish for a Lincoln movie starring Kurt Russell.

That pic might actually be funny in an ok sort of way if they didn't have matching outfits and the person on top wasn't so asexual...

back when I started in the biz (right around 1980), we had a corporate party when we reached the 'awe inspiring' magical 1 gig storage.
it consisted of 8 removeable pack hard drives, each the size of a washing machine. this thing was dream tech in 1980.

now, its the size of a toenail

this was 1 gig storage 'way back when' and its current version next to it for comparison

ok, now I feel bloody old.

It should be noted that that giant SD card is quite big for 1GB.

That's pretty awesome.

My dad used to marvel at how he carried more computing power in his back pocket than they used to have in an entire room at Rocketdyne back in the day. And this was the early days of electronic organizers when he said that.

I remember how impressive 1 gig used to be. Now we scoff at USB drives with less than 8.

Hell... I can remember when a MB was incredibly huge!

Pshaw, we'll never need any more storage than what you can fit on a cassette tape, surely?

Okay, so we still have those cassette drives in the basement at my folks' place, along with the computer that uses them.
