Fuck you, I have an entire filing cabinet full of ZIP 100 disks. Of course, the only reader I have is external SCSI and fuck if i have SCSI on any machine now.
I remember in high school one of the teachers taught a computer course and we had Apple IIe comps
he once claimed that no computer would need more than 512k of ram because no conceivable software would ever need anywhere near that much memory
No shit, probably the entire cabinet full of ZIP disks would fit on this fuckin 1GB USB thumb drive that I got for free as a promotion.
Course I have boxes full of 3.5" Amiga disks and the other day I was plowing thru my box of cassette tapes and I guess I threw my Commodore tapes in there too. Why the fuck do I even keep this stuff around, I have no idea.
So my sophomore year in high school, my teacher required that we bring 5 3 1/2 inch floppies for my BCIS. I tell this to my stepfather, he goes to the store and returns with the 5 1/4 inch floppy disk.

i think he's right

I think he's thinking 512 mb, not kb.
more than likely

We had those. it was pretty awesome, except for the fact that no-one else actually used them.

I mean, he's got to be. I'm not even sure he could run the internet otherwise.
Man, my physics teacher in high school loved to hold up his Ti-83 and tell the class, "this calculator has more computing power than what went to the moon!" He did this in all of his classes, math related or no.

you couldn't be posting on this forum right now if your system only had 512kB of RAM

It's not the size of your ram dude, it's how you use your sliderule.

(it started with me misreading kb as mb, but i just went with it after that)
Even 512MB is unbearably slow for me these days, on an XP machine with a not unreasonable amount of apps loaded
you get used to it, really
i've been using 512 for about 4.5 years now, and that was a step up from what i had been using before
I guess it depends on what you're using it for, it's probably fine for basic office/web stuff. Still, I like to have lots of stuff open at once and even on 2GB I get a lot of swapping sometimes.
I assume your computer is too old for new RAM, because a 2GB stick is like $50 these days

I should load up some wordperfect. It'll be good times.
i just have no use at all for a usb drive at the moment
maybe for transferring files between home and work when i get a better job?

Yeah, that's the only reason they didn't do so well.
if they were more affordable, those things would be hells of popular.

yeah well I am old and dumb so there
i guess that's better than being young and illiterate
Granted it's just sitting there doing nothing, and they are only 256MB sticks so they are useless but I mean still. My cupboard.
