    I remember when £1 per Mb (that's Megabyte!) was a good price.

    The other day RTT was showing me some really old electronics catalogue he'd found, with bargains such as a 20*MB* hard drive for ~£200 :jawdrop: or something equally insanely prices.

    Looking at old receipts for computer items you've bought is a quick way to depress yourself when you realise how much you paid for things that are cheap as chips these days...few things depreciate as fast as hardware. Then again, you have to balance it against how fast technology moves on :)

    My 106Mb Seagate cost me £256.15 inc VAT, May '92. That's £2.50/Mb. :eek:
    But I can tell my wife "Look, It's much cheaper than the printer/monitor/whatever it's replacing" :naughty:
