[GH85Carrera]

Certainly for me. Back in about 1985 I started with computer graphis with a brand new IBM AT, the early version, 6 MHz not the faster 8 MHz that came later. It had a separate video card that ran a color monitor. That was to display the graphics I built. It had a whopping 2 MB of RAM and a huge 32 MB hard drive!

A year later we got a scanner, and I did my first scan. An 8x10 that needed to be rotated 90 degree to make it horizontal. I started the rotation in Aldus PhotoStyler, one of the programs that Adobe bought and incorporated a lot of the code into Photoshop.

Anyway I started the rotation about 2:00 PM and went home at 5:00 and when I came in the next morning it was at 95% complete. Just one tiny 8x10 tiff file!

I have built a ton of computers over the years. My current computer is 3 or 4 years old, but I have 256 Gig of RAM, two different M.2 SSD 2 TB drives and a 14 TB RAID 5 with two high end video cards for the mapping work we do. The parts alone were more expensive than my 1974 914 2.0 that I ordered and bought new in 1974.

I just finished a customer project that is a 32GB tiff file. We can compress it to a mapping format file called JPG2000 to "only" 3.5 GB and upload in in minutes to our One Drive FTP. The client downloads it, and I email the invoice. One clients download a file on our One Drive in about that big in just two minutes! He has a fiber connection, and fast speeds.

Just today, I did something I had not done in years, I burned a CD! Trying to fix a MBR issue with one of the many other computers we have.
