Re: Computers - growth in drives but not memory


While I would never buy a .5M computer for use in
today's SF environments obviously, RAM is temporary
and external storage is permanent(at least mostly).

Every year computers have more harddisk space but not that much more
memory. I just saw an ad for a computer with 160G drive but 512M
memory. Compared with three years ago, that drive is way bigger but
the memory is about the same.

Why is the disk size growing more than memory?
