This card has carried almost all the photos you see here. Let's reflect on that. Actually, I've started re-dabbling in phone camera shots, though I don't plan on featuring any of those here.

Reflecting....pretty crazy the size and capacity of storage available, and the dramatic changes over our lifetime.

My 64 kilobyte Commodore 64 computer circa 1984 seems almost unimaginable. But boy it was fun.

Hey, we had a 4K Radio Shack Color Computer in 1982. 4K! My emails are larger than that now. When we got a memory upgrade chip for Christmans in 1983, it gave 16K of memory. My brother (demostrating early global engineering skillz) had to solder the chip into the motherboard.

Our first RAM back-up system was an old tape deck with regular Maxell tapes. It took minutes to load a 10k program (using the BASIC commands "CSAVE" ans "CRUN"). Back then, Compuserve existed via acoustic coupler, but we didn't get into that until the later 1980s.
