Bear in mind that you won't get much TV on a 20Meg disk :-) Heh, someone else who gets numbers wrong by a factor of 1024 (I do it all the time, talking about a 256K RAM upgrade when I mean Meg etc.). When I were a lad, fitting a megabyte onto a hard disk meant a thing the size of a washing machine... Chris C |

I thought it was a type of bag g. Don't worry, you're not the only one, I'm doing it constantly (I get totally blown away that the computing power and disk storage in my house is way more than was in the whole of the UK when I started work!).

Sorry, I am old and remember when 'gig' was science fiction. Hehe. I still have a 5MB Rodime for which I payed over GBP300, secondhand. I have some DEC disks holding 1MB (on a single platter!), they cost well over $500 new. Not to mention the drives (upwards of $2000 as I recall)... Chris C |
