640K
Reflect on how far tech has come—from 640K limits to terabyte drives. A personal take on storage evolution, nostalgia, and digital clutter.
“640K ought to be enough for anybody.”
Bill Gates
Most people involved with technology knows this famous quote from Bill Gates. With TeraByte disk arrays selling for under $10,000 dollars it’s always amazes me how fast technology evolves. I can vividly remember installing my first 1.02GB hard drive. It was enormous, I couldn’t imagine ever filling it up.
Now as I sit here transfering files onto my new laptop (12GB in my documents folder geez) I realized that I have over 2GB in mail archive. It is time to clean house.
