Message	SZR because the majority of my time on-line usually has something to do with Z's ;c) This is stuff we all know but I still find it amusing to see the numbers in black and white - bought my last computer in 12/95 - had 1.2 GB storage, 16K RAM, a 120 MHz Pentium processor, for a cost of $2600. My new computer has 250 GB storage, a full 1 GB of RAM, and an AMD dual core 2.2 GHz processors for $800 and change. If only the general cost of living would do the same.
