I find is strangely funny to see 8GB of flash memory selling for just £2, when I recall paying £200 for 20MB, 5 1/4" hard drives back in the day (early 90's).
How technology changes and gets so much cheaper.

Looked at this last night in my local. Full price in there :disappointed:

Ah. The joys of DOS and writing your own config.sys and autoexec.bat just to get started. :smiley:

I used to make regular money fitting 10mb hard cards to early pc's, for an extra £15 I would install the dos for them complete with ascii menu!

I remember being on a training course, and hacking the command.com file with a bit editor. Changed the 'del' command reference to 'dir' and vice versa. Good fun watching the next person type 'dir *.*' followed by the prompt 'are you sure, Y/N'
The other thing was to change the text of 'bad command or filename' to 'spell it right you idiot', or words to that effect
