Computer memory and storage
#2
RE: Computer memory and storage
I can remember when 4000 bytes was an enormous amount of storage.

Later on in the mid/late 80s the boss bought our department a 40 megabyte external drive for our shared computer, it was like the Gods had bestowed a blessing upon us.

Hell, Windows probably wastes/loses/corrupts/despoils 40 megabytes or more every time a computer boots up these days.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
