It’s a hard disk drive back in 1956… with 5 MB of storage. In September 1956 IBM launched the 305 RAMAC, the first ‘SUPER’ computer with a hard disk drive (HDD). The HDD weighed over a ton and stored a ‘whopping’ 5 MB of data.

Thanks to my dad for sending this.

A new iPhone and a new year… and WordPress for the iPhone (not to mention all the other great apps I’ve already downloaded).

I’m loving it. Oh sure there are some things I’d like to see different, like being able to use a different email program other than Outlook or Outlook Express for contacts, calendars, etc… like Thunderbird. But there are so many positive aspects to the iPhone and the ‘cool’ factor.
