terabyte hard-drives
Its coming soon.
And the need is genuine. I too grew up with 200meg hdd's and thought that was a gracious plenty. ( actually i started with an old intel8080 and graduated to a commodore 64). Its not that code is sloppy, but the things we take for granted require alot of memory resources. And the uses for computers have changed alot since then. I use one of my pc's exclusively as a entertainment server (games,music,movies,pictures,videocam)and a 1/2 terabyte drive might be able to deal with the files I would like to store on disc. I have two 160gb drives totally full and would like to have an alternative system,
pehaps based on new technologies.
Remember the old days...do you really want to go back?
people said similiar things about automobiles,airplanes and cellphones.

There's a point to CDRW and DVD+/-RWs...use them, and you won't have two 160gb drives full.

Bu then you have to have all those disks floating around, burn them, switch back n forth between them... Its easier to keep the stuff on the harddisks, and it accesses them faster as well.

With all my games, I could easily fill up 160GB. I still have the first game I bought!

This is what you seek?
