Well, look how technology changes... Here's a photo of a Hard Drive from
1985, it's huge and it holds 40meg [that's meg, not gig] and it's $40,000US!

Here's one for home use... 15 megs for $2500US

A ten meg disc from 1975, price unknown, but I have heard of things like
this being worth over a million.
