  • joshhero123, on 05/23/2008, -23/+531Wow, its really exciting seeing the same picture 10 times.
  • laaabaseball, on 05/23/2008, -8/+233lol this is so old http://digg.com/hardware/1GB_20_years_ago_and_1GB_ ...
  • Katana, on 05/23/2008, -7/+115Should have used a microSD card for comparison.
  • sandiegodude, on 05/23/2008, -1/+82If you step on the foot pedal on the floor, the trap opens and you can catch ghosts with it!
  • rjam710, on 05/23/2008, -3/+76I bet we'll be laughing at 1TB HDDs in the future when they shrink that small.
  • Omek, on 05/23/2008, -9/+81hahaha... nice. It probably sounds like a jet engine too I bet. I wonder if big will ever come back in style...
  • rj118, on 05/23/2008, -11/+66No, your mother already tried it.

    It didn't work out. :(
  • DonJohnTom, on 05/23/2008, -6/+55this is older than that gig

  • Schmich, on 05/23/2008, -9/+53Would be nice if Digg submissions moved forwards too.
  • dafragsta, on 05/23/2008, -1/+39In the future 1GB RFID devices will shoot out your urethra for no particular reason.
  • manogamez, on 05/23/2008, -1/+38Really....people?
  • ghee, on 05/23/2008, -8/+39Even though this has been on Digg a few times already, it is amazing to see how far we've come.
  • xptweakerntn, on 05/23/2008, -4/+31I love the delete comment button!
  • jrizzo, on 05/23/2008, -10/+35Worked out fine for me and your mom.
  • Kidtuf, on 05/23/2008, -0/+25I'm actually kind of surprised they had a gig of storage 20 years ago. I remember a hand me down computer 12 years ago that had a whopping 200 mb drive. My dad wouldn't let me install Hexen because we didn't have the room. Those were the (bad) days.
  • gothicknight, on 05/23/2008, -9/+33***OLD***
  • TritonX, on 05/23/2008, -1/+25I still can't believe these small things really hold that much data.
  • Cyrus001, on 05/23/2008, -3/+26Pretty soon we'll be able to run Skynet on an ipod. That's scary *****.
  • inactive, on 05/23/2008, -0/+23Apparently, you're not alone.
  • matschig, on 05/23/2008, -2/+25*nerdiliciously
  • Jayso89, on 05/23/2008, -4/+25This is digg isn't it?
  • squirreljam, on 05/23/2008, -0/+20Ferret?
  • LMaxey, on 05/23/2008, -2/+22Close that damn window! There's a subtle whoosing sound...
  • Adrianc333, on 05/23/2008, -3/+22Bah, your Description.

    Why did you feel the need for multiple question marks?
  • JosefH, on 05/23/2008, -0/+18STUMBLE UPON?! DEVIL-WORSHIPER!
  • directrix13, on 05/23/2008, -0/+18I agree. That's why I made this to scale:

  • coachmcguirk, on 05/23/2008, -1/+18That is pretty old... people were still talking about the TF2 beta in that post!
  • Rainemaker, on 05/23/2008, -1/+17.
  • beetlejuice101, on 05/23/2008, -3/+18Digg the original
  • inactive, on 05/23/2008, -0/+15The new comment system allows you to digg back up.
  • zosoIV, on 05/23/2008, -10/+25OLD
  • osirislink, on 05/23/2008, -1/+16If I could somehow get one of these and use it at work via USB I would so do it.
  • rezonq3, on 05/23/2008, -0/+14Forgive us for overestimating YOUR intelligence; We forgot for a second that you lack strong observational skills, and the necessary humility to see when you're being an arrogant prick.

    Here's a little hint: Take closer look at that picture, then re-read rjam710's comment.
  • ZincSaucier, on 05/23/2008, -5/+18WOW a computer now is such the better thing that it was before. I cant believe it guys! LOL
  • codo678, on 05/23/2008, -3/+15God damn not again. I have seen this picture like about 10 times on digg and about 5 on SU.
  • mikephimikephi, on 05/23/2008, -0/+11I have some Nacho Cheese Doritos sitting next to me
  • DemDude, on 05/23/2008, -1/+12I've been on digg for less than a year, and I have actually seen this more than ten times.
  • bennjammin, on 05/23/2008, -2/+13I want one of these for school so much, I wonder if its USB2.0 compatible?
  • Leathersoup, on 05/23/2008, -0/+11Yeah... your standard ghost takes about one gigabyte to store :)
  • chanop, on 05/23/2008, -0/+10I have a case of 2mb floppy disks sitting right next to me
  • inactive, on 05/23/2008, -0/+10Hah, wow, I knew we had some idiots on here, but I had no idea it was that bad... And they didn't get it the second time. Wow...
  • edwartica, on 05/23/2008, -0/+8Yeah, I mean it would be different if this were a "that's what she said type of joke," but your mother? Geez!
  • ujangdigg, on 05/23/2008, -0/+8wow. I just wonder how it feels while clicking on 'digg's swear check box'

  • PabloIV, on 05/23/2008, -0/+8who says you can't already?
  • NewBrunswickMan, on 07/12/2009, -3/+11it's true ladies, it's THIS big
  • JasonHaley, on 05/23/2008, -0/+8According to the post it's 20 years old.
  • ericmerrill, on 05/23/2008, -0/+8This is the first time I've seen it. It made my day a little better, but clearly not enough to balance out the level of distraught it's brought you all.
  • xkorbin, on 05/23/2008, -0/+7What about a class 3 spectral glob? A real nasty one?
