A nice old copy of Byte magazine from 1996
This is a very old computer magazine I found on the Internet. This has computer advertisements from 1996. It is amazing that back then you only needed a 166 MHZ CPU and 16 Megabytes of RAM to run office applications and a Windows operating system. Now we need 16 Gigabytes of RAM and a 1 Terabyte HDD. But a 2 MB graphics card was not bad back then, if you had a 2D accelerator, it could run a photo editing application very well.

This was a good PC spec in 1996. This is amazing.
But this was 25 years ago. Bill Clinton was president and Independence Day was in Cinemas. Jaz 1 Gigabyte disks were all the rage, now we have 64 GiB tiny thumb-sized USB drives. I remember buying a USB drive ages ago and it had a 64-megabyte capacity and a 1.4-megabyte partition that had drivers on it. Now that even the latest Windows `95 update added USB support, you could easily use USB drives. But the first true USB thumb drive was made in the year 2000. This was the Trek ThumbDrive. It had a massive 8-megabyte capacity, which is still far better than a stack of floppy disks. But before that people used unreliable floppy disk drives to store data and these were only 1.44 megabytes. Not even worth using these days, although a USB floppy drive may be had for a small price. At least we have the modern Internet with much more accessible data due to the influence of Google that has indexed the whole Internet. This makes finding what you desire much easier.
Another copy of Byte magazine. This one is from 1975.
