Did it as part of my STS [science, technology & society] research
==========================================
Old timers – memories !
New timers – wow was that what it was like back then !
=========================================
Right – 5.25” drive / floppy – about 360 KB [kilobyte] – about $300 back then – rough inflation factor of 2.3, so today over $600 – so we treasured them – Kaypros $2000, so today over $4000.- they were “ very “ treasured [just got a new Win 7 HP and Lenovo, each for less than $500 since old Vista crashed – critical for my STS research !]
Top right – 3.5” drive / disk – 1.4 MB
Top left – ZIP drive 100 MB
Left – DVD drive / disks – 4 + GB
Bottom right – external hard drive - 1 + TB
Bottom left – memory cards & sticks [flash drives] – GB’s
Note white arrow [ /\ ] is a “micro” card – need tweezers sometimes to handle it – a couple of years ago I got the biggest 32 GB $100 – just saw them for about $30 now.
Enjoy !
