I just walked from my second day at COMDEX '90 here in Las Vegas, and was blown away by many things, but the biggest was the new storage media! I saw a 1.6 GIGABYTE hard drive that fits in a full-height 5 1/14 drive spot in a PC! oh, and dig this.. SEVERAL of the PC stations on display had 3.5 inch laserdisc drives! READ & WRITE! each disk holds (brace yourself) 128 MEGABYTES! well, I'm blown away! Talk about a mega-jump from the old 4K-memory TRS-80, and in such a few short years.... technology waits for no-one.... utterly amazing. meanwhile, back to our normal programming...
