Another quick dash of random thinking
So I am coming online to check my e-mail (which I know I won't have any of, seeing as I have only been offline for 6 hours now.), when, on the AOL screen, they talk about the newest peiced of random technology on the board. And aside from a majorly durable tablet PC, an expanding tea-pouch, and some new padding for military helmets, they presented this thing. http://www.alienware.com/product_detail_pages/Aurora_ALX/alx_features.aspx?SysCode=PC-AURORALX-SLI-D&SubCode=SKU-DEFAULT
Now, I am not the kind of guy who keeps up with the latest technology. Heck, I still don't see the usefulness of the famous iPod.....I'll stick to CDs thank you...but there was something about this that caught my attention. One little word, that is anything but.
Terabyte
According to the site, this monster of a PC has a hard drive that weighs in at 2.4 terabyes of space. To make it easier to wrap your head around, the PC I am sitting at, a Dell tower, has a 20gig hard drive. Therefore, it would take.....a 103 of these computer to equal the total storage capacity of one of those. I have to ask......why would anyone, even a gamer, need 2.4T of memory? I mean, the RAM on the thing comes in at 4G.It's insane I tell you......has the size of your PC become the new sports car.....the newest way to compensate for your own personal short comings? Good lord.....what's next? I shudder to even speculate.
