cleaning out some old clutter in my home office, and found a couple PC
Magazines from June 2000 ...
 
Some amazing/fun/sad comparisons 
 
Although PC Mag is now out of production, the last issues were about 80
pages or so, June 2000 had 238 pages
 
Crucial was advertising memory upgrades of 64mb for the bargain discount
price of $59 versus the $110+ retail of the day   /   memory  today is
easily 512mb for under $50
 
Laptops with 'up to' 14.1" screens were touted in 2000 to have 64mb RAM, 8gb
hard drives, and only cost around $2400 
 
Article from June 2000 about IBM's "Really Big Hard Drive" for only $699,
had a whopping 75gb capacity  ( I do remember scsi server drives in the
4gb-8gb range then )    ... in 2009, a couple months ago, a 1.5tb, yes
TERAbyte SATA drive was under $150 !
 
I almost hate to throw those old issues away .... almost
