I'm Addicted to Memory (I think?)

Who ever would imagine that this kid to the left would have grown up to become a computer geek. Here's is your average 12 year old with his freocious pet hamster, and now I've become this memory seeking geek. A year or so ago I bought my first cashe-stash, a 128mg PNY Flash Stick. Then, about 6 months later, I bought a 512mg Flash Stick. Two weeks ago PNY had 1 gig Flash Sticks on sale for $24.99 so of course, I had to buy one. They have come in very handy for transferring files to and from work or to a friends house. I can bring music home on it then transfer it to my PC or iPod. Well, today I bought an 80 gig External Hard Drive from Seagate for $89.


When I first got into computers over 10 years ago (holy shit) I remember hard drives going for $500 for 500k (a gig was unheard of) and 4 mg of ram was a steal at $120. It's like anything I guess, prices come down for everything because they become cheaper to manufacture. I'm not sure where I'm going with this post other than I'm happy I got the 80 gig of storage. I have been making more home movies lately and that eats up the space as does music. So I should be set now for a while. I also like the fact that it is external. I could transfer large amounts of data in a single bound...

  • As Bill Gates said, "Nobody will ever need more than 640KB". I also remember when adding one MB of real memory to a mainframe computer cost about $100,000. Gawd I'm old.

    I get by with a 256MB Cruzer and I'm not so sure I want a bigger one. I put a 1GB card in my camera and took pictures until it filled up and now uploading and deleting them is a real pain. On the other hand, I can get a LOT of pictures on the thing.

  • Yoda,
    if you must know it makes me feel worse. "Hey baby, is that a 200 gigabyte external hard drive in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?"
    Gigabyte Envy ;-(

    I think I'm set for now. Yes, the dirty home movies take up a lot of room. I was told a lot that I looked like the kid on My Three Sons. I HATED to hear that. That's what drove me to a life of dirty home movies
