Boeing designed their 757/767 aircraft on a CAD/CAM minicomputer with an 80MB SMD. Later versions of the machine had 300MB HDDs. My first data recovery (during the late 1980s) was on one of these drives.

In 1969 NASA sent astronauts to the moon with a computer that had the power of a Commodore 64. Nowadays any advances in hardware technology are quickly eroded by lazy programmers and web designers. What Intel giveth, Microsloth taketh away.

I love old tech, so I just had to find out how it all works. :-)
