Equipment and prices and have changed significantly since I started in
1967. Attitudes of genuine computer people have changed a lot less.

Disk storage will always be finite.  Everything is finite, even the
universe.

My first hard disk, for a BBC Micro, was a massive 20 MB. It cost GBP
320 (circa USD 500). My first mouse cost me GBP 53 (circa USD 80).

Yes everything continues to evolve, optimistically for the betterment of
mankind :-)
