That used to be true Roger since we have very limited choice in hard disk...but now you need a fast drive as well.. since 8gb is very cheap nowadays, in order to add more speed...a fast drive is a good investment as well :D

Lots of things used to be true. I remember when memory was over $400 for 64KB and hard drives were 10MB. Each hard drive mounted in a 5¼" bay and had it's own front panel with an activity LED.

But then, I remember when bootproms were invented. Before them, we used a front panel to enter a 36-byte boot program one byte at a time at start up. This allowed the CPU to load the OS from a paper tape.

As my license plate frame said in the 70s: floppy now, hard later.

And who else out there knows why hard disks were called Winchester drives?

^- oh geez....

I know a good chunk of that ;) My memory is failing when it comes to Winchester drives..i think its because of an early manufacturer isnt it?
