The ongoing prattlings of a lifelong geek and his random luck with love, work, children and rediscovering himself.

Computer Storage - Then And Now

I came across this graphic yesterday and found it interesting, showing how far we've come in electronic storage since I was in high school.   Wow.

 
There's also news that Commodore USA is  bringing "back" the Commodore 64  (this link sometimes has a hard time loading)  using a quad-core Intel processor.  However, it appears all it is will be that the computer will be in a similar case (it will apparently run Windows and Linux).


I'm imagining that if they were to include C64 emulation via hardware (tons of software emulators exist already), that would at least give it a small niche market.  Otherwise, it's just a computer in an all-in-one keyboard (been done already, but mainly for industrial purposes).
