Re: Deflation

Circa 1995 I purchased one of the first 100Mb.* HDDs imported into my country.

1991 or 1992 we had various systems at work, 486's and early Pentia, an RS/6000, some PA/Risc system, mVAXes, a few Alphas and some Suns, the disk sizes on a few of them tickling 1GB. Also around then I bought a whopping 500MB SCSI harddisk for a whopping dfl.2500.

The price was eye watering! In the vicinity of three thousand Euros, if my memory doesn't fail me.

Converted? Won't have been Euros, then, but sounds painfully expensive.
