And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

A measly 5 MB harddrive being shipped by IBM in 1956.
I was given an 8 inch 5mb hard drive. I tore it apart and used the disk for a project. The finely machined and polished disk with an oxide coating had a nice copper color. After buying a picture frame and some stick on numbers I applied them to the face. After that, I took and old battery operated clock mechanism and made a great wall hanging clock out of it.

I bought 64MB of ram for an IBM system 36. Kept the receipt in a frame till I retired last year. 68 thousand 1985 dollars.
