Bloody hell look at the size.

That's absolutely hilarious

 

Just think, that's 5MB and today the single biggest hard drive is 1TB which is 1024GB or 1,048,576MB. How times have changed.

In 1982 we had a 10MB Hard Disk that was in its own cabinet the size of small fridge and a guy used to come out and carry out regular services on it.
