Some computers still fill rooms (MPP machines)... but the relative power is mind boggling.

The other day I was playing with one of my kids machines when he was home from college. I pulled out the thumb drive and it was a 250 GB thumb drive! Jezzzz! I said. I asked him...what the heck did this cost? "About 175 bucks")

I remember in 1985 buying a new hard disk for my MicroVax mini computer for my company and it was 300 MB and cost over $5000 and was the size of a large tackle box. And it was considered giant back then. Times have changed.
