I posted a link a year or two ago about copy, and getting like 20GB of free cloud data to store information on.

Turns out their doors are closing may 1st 2016. Make sure you pull out your data before it is gone. permanently.

My 75GB dropbox promo ran out and I had to shift stuff around. That was a pain. I got an email from dropbox and they said we'll give you 7gb. So now my stuff is spread out across dropbox and google drive.

Does anyone remember the first cloud storage called X: drive? You installed it on your win95 or win98 machine and a drive appeared next to your C: drive and it was X:  - Think you got like 5mb or something. The school's IT teacher told me off for installing that once. I was always getting into trouble for IT related things.
The female librarian was the double of Monica Lewinsky but had camel toe at least once a week. Used to always pay attention to what I was doing because I was always in some kind of chat room. Ah good old 1998. Most of the time I was reverse engineering web pages to steal stuff from it.

I digress, again...

In 1988, I was jazzed to get HIGH DENSITY 3.5-inch floppies. 1.44MB was awesome!

Some time after that, I helped my daughter do a science fair experiment on how far away another computer had to be for sneakernet to no longer be the faster way to transfer a file. This was when 28.8 modems were just making their appearance... but a box full of overnighted floppies would still be faster than moving a big file on 14.4 speeds.
