In September 1956 IBM launched the 305 RAMAC, the first computer with a hard
disk drive(HDD). The HDD weighed over a ton and stored 5MB of data.

That's not a typo ..... 5MB of data.

I built a computer that did addition in the fifth grade, it was not
nearly that big.


I built a working nuclear cloud chamber for my 7th grade science
project. It worked perfectly. Damned thing incorporated a spark coil
from a Model A Ford.
