Read up on the history of computers -- the first programmer, as I
recall, was one Lady Lovelace who programmed Babbage's first
mechanical computer (if you don't count the abacus) in the early
1800's.

Of course, I remember programming with rocks and that was before we
had zero's. We only had one's and that was a programming nightmare.
You new guys at least have 1's and 0's to work with.

ROFLMMFAO! You had rocks?!? Dang dude. I can't top that.

I remember when we got our first hard-drive in the lab...a 10Mb
dishwasher sized behemoth with its own AC unit

Not meaning to continue this thread, but you brought back memories.

I remember in the early 80's when Crovis (sp) came out the their first HD -- at least it was the first I drooled over. It had 5 Megs and cost $5k and you could daisy-chain three together to get a whopping 15M for only $15,000.

In my last HD purchase, 15M cost me less than $0.01. Not a bad advance in technology over the last 20 years, huh?
