I still have an LS120 drive in the loft somewhere. Takes me back a bit. A place I used to work at had a mixture of ZIP, Jaz, MO (230 & 640MB), CDRW and eventually just before I left DVD-R. I remember getting all excited when I installed their first 2.6GB DVD-RAM drive. Funnily enough too, I was swapping my dad's old Duron 750 into a brand new case today and showed my other half the hard drive. A Seagate 3.2GB drive, cost me about £120 when I bought it I think. I explained that it was a smaller capacity than the 4GB MicroSD card I have kicking around. Just think in another 10 years we'll probably look at old ancient 1TB hard drives and compare them to 4TB flash storage :-) Rob -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
