Any idea what this is???

It's a hard disk drive circa 1956. A HDD with 5 MB storage!

In September 1956 IBM launched the 305 RAMAC, the first computer with a hard disk drive (HDD). The HDD weighed over a ton and stored 5 MB of data.

Can you appreciate your $30, 8 GB memory stick now?

lmao....i had the same pic somewhere and only today i was joking with Tona saying i had a pic of his very first PC........this was the exact pic i was talking about !!!

the kewl thing's about this computer, is that defrag time would be less than a minute.....it doubles as a table, or even a bar.......no mofo would be able to steal it very easily.

downside to having it.....taking it to a shop for repairs/service would suck......you could only fit a couple of games on it.......it would prolly make a shtload of noise.

thank god IBM didnt make a laptop version of it..................
