New Laptop

I got my laptop delievered from DELL today .. It's Inspiron 700M model with Intel Pentium M 1.6 Ghz processor, 1 GB SDRam, 80 GB Hard disk drive, 8X CD/DVD burner and integrated 802.11 b/g wireless .. I made sure I am getting the latest configuration b'cos it will be really expensive to upgrade these laptops if needed in the future..

I went down my memory lane and the year was 1995.. second year in my college when my dad decided to buy me a computer.. He got the latest configuration for me then... an Intel 486 processor with 4 MB Ram and 512 MB Hard Disk Drive and had a 1.44 Floppy Disk Drive... I am just amazed by how fast things have changed in the last 10 years.. My new laptop has RAM twice the size of my old Hard disk drive, even a CD drive was an expensive thing in the past and now I have a CD/DVD burner. Floppy Disk Drive have become totally absolute. Even modem is not a common thing when you buy a computer.. nowadays we have gone from wired - wireless modems..

I cant even imagine what's going to happen 10 yrs from now.. But I am sure we will have computers with 80 GB RAM ...
