Now I have a little bit of time on my hands (surprisingly little actually) I was doing a bit of retro programming.

And here's something I forgot: anyone remember when hard drives were called Winchester drives?

Now we have the Internet I can look these terms up and see how those names came about...

@dpiponi I was working in a computer room at Sydney University’s CS department when I was an undergraduate. I heard this sudden loud rhythmic grinding sound. A removable Winchester disk drive attached to a mainframe had suffered a head crash and it was peeling long strips of aluminium off the platter. Quite the sight.
