In 1989, I got my first computer - a 286 briefcase portable with a 1.2 mB 5 1/4 floppy, 512k (that's kilobytes) of ram, monochrome (amber) EGA video, and for the low-low price of around $200, I put in a 30 megabyte hard drive.
Fast-forward to today (pretty soon, nobody will understand what "fast-forward refers to), and transfer that entire 30mB of data from a laptop computer (more powerful than a supercomputer in '89) to a handheld computer/telephone hybrid (a droid X) in only 10 seconds.
Tech sure has changed, hasn't it? Remember taking typing class on the old IBM Selectric?
