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...
