the thousand dollars per Megabyte... even the real information doesn't cost that much. I think we should keep the old computers as long as their price rises as the rarity. I shouldn't have sold my way-old analogue IBM Monitor of 14`` which was more long than wide)

Hardly. This relic is about 25 years old, and believe it or not, this is what you would have paid for something that big. Of course, only larger institutions were using drives back then, everyone else was using audio tapes to save things.
Then again, your OS was basically a DOS interface, nothing major, so you could literally have everything on a tape drive.
My dad still tells stories of picking up a drive, about that size, for the church/school he was working for at the time, and that was just about the price they had to pay.Tom Whiting, WHMCS Guru extraordinaire

Makes me think that 50 years from now on, we will be poking jokes to the today's technology and wondering how was possible the people of 2011 to keep their data on spinning platters!

The page doesnt load what was it about? ive seen an old advert for a 10mb hard drive.. was mental. Also i looked in the old newspapers at the library and saw an advert for the exact car i had baught when it was new. off topic haha. I too as above poster, need more than 500gb. My mobile phone (windows phone) has an 8gb memory card and i remember thinking... Why would people need aanything bigger than 32mb mem card in there fone..? and now im thinking of a 16gig or 32. I have 4 500gb hard drives and need more... Technology has improved so much.
