8gb and it is the size of a.. a..well, a very small thing. amazing.

ClientCo site; programme team meeting; 3 project teams present; about 30 people present in conference room; most work in IT; supplier tries to do a demo on his laptop using the WiFi; WiFi wouldn't play; supplier's assistant has a copy of the demo on his tiny USB stick; assistant throws USB stick to his boss; USB stick goes in laptop; demo is fired up.

At this point I say to the assembled parties: "Amazing, isn't it? The data crystal is already with us."

Programme Manager: "Sorry? The what crystal?"

Me: "Data crystal. Like in Star Trek or Babylon 5."

Programme Manager: "What are you talking about?"

Me: "You know, like on the sci-fi films where there is the ship's blueprints and logs on a small device. A USB stick, yeah? Like a data crystal?"

<assembled silence>

Programme Manager: "Are you some sort of nerd?"

Me: "I'm an IT Project Manager. Of course I'm a nerd."

One of the client Project Managers mutters under his breath: "IT geek w**ker."

Programme Manager: "Can we please get on now...?"

That was the day I realised I wasn't going to get an extension...

What's going in here today then?

Hello, El Diablo.

In answer to your question, drivel.

[BrowneIssue]

It seems not so long ago that it took two people to pick up a 20Mb disk drive... (or was it a 10Mb disk drive, I forget).

The earliest I ever handled were 10Mb RL02 disc packs.

another biscuit sir?

Curious design decision, but I suppose it's as logical as 256 bytes/sector or was 128 bytes/sector for the 8 inch floppy...
