Well the sun set on this thread after I feel asleep.



We have a WINNER

Mike you made the 647th post, which was the time (6:47 am Pacific Time) the sun rose on the day this thread started. That's why I called it the sunrise thread.

Take it away Mike.

Oh Celt T, I bought a bunch of the IBM 360 platters at a salvage store and made coffee tables. Sold about 20 of them. I also made some jewelry out of old chips that had gold pins.

This is the HD on the IBM 360 that we used for the Canadian weather service back in the early 1970s. Ours had a triple disk, but it had less than the 7.2 MB that was advertized. We had another duplicate machine for a back up. I don't know what it cost.

Good morning all you crunchers! Coffee all around!

I used to be a cruncher like you, then I took an arrow to the knee.

Winning in the afternoon is good.

good afternoon win

it's a sunny day
but i can't see it here
the sun needs to rise
it seems it's disappeared

the sun is shining bright
so i know that real soon
i will see it's light
and sing a happy tune

it will rise again
like it always does
another sunny day
just because...

PROUD TO BE TFFE!

With each crime and every kindness we birth our future.

Good morning to you, on the day of rhymes.
Along the way I fall over some times.
But, that don't stop the beer flowing,
when beer'O'clock is here it's time to be agoing.

Winning is a way in here,
but, beer is the way over there!

It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues

Good morning win.

I forgot to say Good Morning. The sun has risen here.

So to all our friends across the pond, in the best magic roundabout tradition

time for bed

I can't cite capacity or price anymore.....too long ago. Seagate. Big as a house and heavy as a brick.....and oooooooooooooooooo....I was on the cutting edge. LOL.

My first hard drive was 7mb. I paid over 2k. When I got it most of my tech friends had 3-5mb drives. I was sure I would never need any thing larger. Oh and yes they were large and heavy. I used my as a door stop for years after it failed.

About the most memorable hdd I had back then was the Seagate 80MB ST4096 MFM FH 5.25" hdd, I went through 10 to get 1 that worked, the things were mostly being sent out with no quality control. To all you Kids here, FH or Full Height is equal to two 5.25" drive bays.

I paid the equivalent of about $700 for my first 10Mbyte HDD and another $400 for the controller.

I thought things had become cheap, when a bonus enabled me to get a new 486DX for me, and upgrade my 386/7 with a 200MB HDD, at about $1/MB, 3Mb of RAM for $30 and I also installed a new Hercules graphics card which could go to 1024 * 768 at 256 colours, for my sons.
Thinking that would keep them happy for several years playing games and honework. What a foolish dream that was.
