Powerbook 520C circa 1995. It's amazing how long it takes to boot up.

I remember paying $2,000 for a 1 gig external hard drive for a Quadra 950.

A couple years later we paid about $8,000 for an array that totaled 56 gigs.

That makes me wonder even more what we can expect in technology in the future.
