Yeah, I chuckle at those people with no idea of scale as well,
although it really isn't their fault that they haven't been exposed to it.
A few months ago I got all excited when a friend told me about this
"ABSOLUTELY HUGE!" hard drive that he'd found in a warehouse and had
secured for me. I was envisioning a CDC 9766, and what I got was a
Maxtor 4380E. I appreciated it anyway, though, because I have several
Emulex MD21s. =)

"What
size disks does it use?"
8" = 1975 - 1985
5.25" = 1978 - 1995
3.5" = 1983 - 2005
I;'ve lost count of the number of times a non-technical person has said
'those big floppy disks'. They mean 5.25", I think of 8"
