- 17 inch 2 GHz C2D imac (5,1) with 3GB DDR2 RAM, X1600 (128MB memory) GPU - OSX 10.6.3
Wonder how much 12 million GB would cost to purchase.
Yeah that's a lot of space but in 10-20 years we'll all have petabyte hard drives right? We all remember the days when people said "what 100MB? You'll never need that much storage space".

This probably dates me a bit, but I can remember getting an old 286 with a 20MB hard drive and being the envy of my classmates.
As an aside, isn't it astounding how, video aside, we still do a lot of the same things with computers as we did back then -- email, chat, research, word processing and spreadsheets, etc?
