my cheap pos $60 4" tablet
has the same amount of storage as my first windows based PC....and 80% of that is on a square half the size of a postage stamp.
Memory was $100 a meg, 8 megs was pretty cool. I used to program in COBAL (cobOL?) and QBasic.
Crap, even at the job I'm at now, I used to program/run a a CMM with a pentium 150 processor, and it would run and print at the same time. Now I've got a 3.2 gig processer, 6 gig memory, and the thing crashes if I blink at it, but it sure has pretty colors and a stupid doggy sucking up resources thanks to Bill Gates marketing mastery.
Kids going into IT...smart move. Seems like he was enthralled with his plastic steamshovel yesterday..
