I remember as a young kid in the 90s, having a book called something like “how computers work” and reason it diligently, learning so much. I remember learning SI prefixes from Terra down to Pico.
Giga- (bytes etc) was hardly even a thing then. I remember having a 1.99GiB hdd and like 32MiB of RAM or something. And I think that was my upgraded pc - don’t think I knew the specs of my first PC. Also, I think it was like a pentium II 166MHz (or 366?) processor…
Amazing how many orders of magnitude processing power and storage have grown in the last 30~ years that felt like a blink of an eye.
Life is fast
