super-shecret new hd

fuck, look at that thing. the first time i saw the pic, i thought it was from willy wonka and that tv transmitting room where they shrink mike teevee. but the pic is actually of an old-school fixed head hard drive that purportedly holds 256K. for those who are curious what that translates to…1 kb is 0.001 megs, or 0.000001 gigs. and a 20 gig hd these days can be less than an inch. ah, progress.
