This is what 5 megabytes looked like in 1956. #tech #history #retro #retrocomputing #technology #histodons #photo
@ChrisPirillo Yessiree kids, when I was a youngu'un, a Megabyte was a MEGABYTE! Not like those puny megabytes you get nowadays. You kids just don't know what it used to be like when the original megabytes roamed the plains, eating silicon and pooping out CPUs...those were the days.
Kids : Mooooom! Grampy's talking about megabytes again! Can we unplug him for the night? Please?!
@cautionwip @ChrisPirillo Megabytes!?!! You young whippersnappers and your megabytes. Back in my day we had kilobytes and we were dang happy to have them.
@tco0085 @ChrisPirillo I have vivid memories of a BBS called Walden Commune in Mtl that stuck with 300 baud long after higher speeds existed and I could keep up with the dl text as it scrolled by.
