Keep Your Electric Eye on Me, Babe

Dispatch Warlock and Ajax...To bring back his body!

Take a good look at this picture

The large turbine-looking apparatus is a 1 Gigabyte drive from I.B.M. about 20 years ago.

It’s pricetag at the time? Almost a quarter of a million dollars.

In the upper right hand corner, someone is holding a 1 Gigabyte chip in it’s current iteration. Asking price at my local Compugeek store: $15 - $20.00.

It’s things like this that make me wonder about what we’ll become in another 20 years.

Something about that sub-headline has been buggin' me. Wasn't it "Dispatch War Rocket Ajax...?"
