cdybedahlToday I bought a DVD+RW disc. To use for backups. It's more or less the same size and weight as the 5.25" floppies I used back in the mid-80's. Except it can store more than 12800 such floppies could. Or, differently put, more than a hundred times as much as the first hard disk I ever bought could.
On a single shiny little plastic disc.
Sheesh.
