weird to think that hard drives used to be like 20 MB and that was all you got and now we have like six orders of magnitude bigger drives

@Felthry Remembering when its entire school work for IT classes was on a single 3.5in floppy disk for a while.

Partly 'cus the school computers for students was still on DOS until 2001 lol

@Felthry And now it regularly makes art that the source files wouldn't even fit on multiples of them

@Felthry 6 orders of magnitude bigger drives while being 6 orders of magnitude smaller in size. Technology is incredible sometimes

@Felthry True, but considering they used to be so big and heavy they needed carts to move them around to being barely bigger than a RAM card, it's still pretty substantial
