Well, the computer is chugging along. It is building the RAID5. I started that process yesterday and it is just 37% complete. So that is not real fast. I can't imagine what it is doing that takes so long to format 5 drives into one big ol' 15 TB drive. I keep going back to that first PC with the 5.25 inch floppies, and low density, 360Kb floppies at that. It came with just 256Kb of ram. It was a dual floppy machine, one floppy to boot from, then load the program disc into the first floppy, and the data went on the other floppy.
The 10 MB hard drive I installed would not even hold one photo from my digital camera. At 300 Baud I could read the text as fast as it downloaded. That was really annoying when I had to wait for the entire screen of text to download so I could scroll up or down and hit enter to go to the next screen. The mouse was just something in the magazines. It was the late 1980s before I got my first mouse. The wide port serial mouse. Microsoft Patent Pending mouse.
