This is not from 2000, it's from about 1985, according to someone else on FriendFeed. Duh, we had 100 MB Zip disks before 2000 and 5 GB iPods shortly after 2000. You can't be serious.

Hate to burst your bubble, but this external hard drive is from 1977 and was sold for the Tandy TRS-80. There's one available on Ebay right now for $20. http://cgi.ebay.com/Radio-Shack-TRS-80-15-Meg-Disk-System-w-Key_W0QQitemZ310095111153QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item310095111153&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1234|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318|301%3A0|293%3A1|294%3A50
