Well, it's taken over three months, but my computer is now just about up to par. Now I can blog from home, not just from my work location, and my Mac is running on OSX 10.3.2. In addition, I added an 80 Gig external Hard Drive, quadrupling the storage space of my old Hard Drive, and will shortly be adding a DVD burning drive. Are you afraid yet? :D
What totally blew my mind when I went looking for new external hard drives was that they now have Terabyte Drives, for about $1 a Gig. 1 Terabyte is enough storage space to fit about 1/10 of the books in the Library of Congress! That's pretty frightening. For a moment, I thought, "Wow, we're talking Star Trek-type storage space here!"
After Terabytes, what's next? The Petabyte, Yottabyte, Zettabyte and Brontobyte. 500 Petabytes would hold all the words spoken since the human race gained speech, and after that point, your mind is literally not big enough to envision the amount of space each iteration holds. Heck, I certainly can't manage it! Instead, I think I will just sit here imagining the amount of space for games each would hold. ;) Will we ever need things that fill those kind of spaces? I sure hope so. Ever onward and upwards!
