Once upon a time, shiny new computer technology was only for the very wealthy, or at least those who could throw a couple G's around.
In case you've forgotten the price of hard drive space back in the day, let this old Radio Shack advertisement remind you.

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
