Harga HDD 5MB $1500 USD ?

“640K ought to be enough for anybody” – Bill Gates 1981

“The cost for 128 kilobytes of memory will fall below U$100 in the near future” – Creative Computing magazine 1981

Tu lah yang disebut oleh Bill Gates and majalah US tahun 80-an dulu..FYI, Lawak jugak info pasal iklan computer ni dan selain itu kita sedikit sebanyak tahu bagaimana teknologi masa tu baru nak berkembang. Before Me-X shows you all the Vintage Computer Ads That Used To Be Cool, ada 2 facts yang terlampau menarik:

1. The computer in your cell phone  already has more processing power than all the computers in the Apollo 11 Lunar Lander yang menghantar 2 orang lelaki ke Bulan pada tahun .... 1969 hingga 1972????

*So, maksudnya, kite sekarang leh g Bulan dgn menggunakan Iphone, HTC or even Nokia 3310?????? anytime? LOL

2. Did you know that the first HDD introduced in 1979 by Seagate was only 5 MB and cost ~ $1500 USD?

* Giler , Stressssss Me-X, mahal siot...5 MB? tu adalah saiz lagu mp3 yg kurang dr 320kbps yo!
