The way we were (was Re: [TriLUG] No more Linux on WRT54G???)

[Mark Freeze]

In the 80's I used to be a cobol programmer for Amsouth bank in
Birmingham, AL.  I remember when we were first getting pc's and they
gave me a 40MB drive to put in one of the boxes.  At the time I
thought to myself "Man, 40MB!  We'll never fill this thing up!"

Regards,
Mark.
