November 1956 IBM aanounces the worlds First hard drive

I bought a Corvus 5MB hard drive in 1982 that was the size of a shoebox and cost $5,000. A 10MB was only $7,500. Still they could be used on a network in place of a sneaker net with 8" 160K floppy drives which was what my first PC used.

It ran UNIX though which compensated for the lack of CPU power and DASD. Now with Windows I need all the CPU power and RAM I can get for this exceedingly badly engineered operating system.
