The recent post about Amazon brought this to mind. In 1995, several people didn't think that WWW would ever really catch on.

Do you remember that guy, what's his name, who said 640K was more than anybody would ever need.

I remember that. When I bought my first computer, I was told a 10meg disk would be plenty of space. Of course, I was using film in my cameras, and tapes for my music at that time.

Remember 256K, and phone- line modems, that you had to set the phone into the cradle?

The first computers I worked on had 8088 processors, 4.77MHZ, and 128K of memory, with 5 1/4 inch floppy disks, no hard drives.
