- bigfishrunning 2mo agoIt still can, but until very recently the motivation for keeping software small wasn't there. I'm still hoping the tide is coming in.
- aurmc 2mo agoSure, yes, compared to the prices of storage 35 years ago, it's a bargain. Compared to the prices of storage today, when people are presumably buying the product, it's actually a bad price.
- criddell 2mo agoSure, but this thread started with somebody pointing out that these computer prices are in line with Mac SE/30 prices. I'm just carrying that over to cover storage and it's even more amazing how much we get for so little money.
