I think its being posted before.

Its still nice to go back and see what hardware was around at the time and the prices, look how far we've come! :eek:
 
wow - that is amazing. Great tool for looking back in the past. Much easier than digging up old rock and trying to get historians to make out what it was :D
 
hahahahhahaha! 75GB Deathstar HDDs cost £450 all those years ago. wow, times sure have changed!

It is like a time machine that takes you back to the old days of websites, as far as back to 1996! Just wow!

The only drawback is that they're not 100% archived.

You may laugh, but i bought one of those with an Abit board and 512mb Ram from here, i think i still have a copy of the email receipt somehwere too, time to go digging!
 
I remember buying a 100Mb HDD it cost me over £300 I seem to remember. Fantastic bit of kit though. :D

Anyone remember when CDRs first came out? How many coasters did you make... I can't remember how many nights I swore blue getting these bloody things to work. IT was times when knowing about computer hardware was a skill - not like now where everything's done for you. God I remember those days, so frustrating! :D
