# I first spotted b3ta in 1999
with a home PC with a 13GB HD, and at the time that seemed like a beast. Times change

# I didn't own a computer until 2004.
In fact, I didn't own a computer until 2006, but I borrowed one in 2004.

# I was at college from 1998 to 1999
yes it bloody well was
I had a pc since 1996 but not the internet at home until 2002 (i think)

# I remember buying, in 1998
two 5.2GB hard drives which were the largest commercially available.
The cost me £245 each.

Times certainly do change. The PC I was building cost me nearly £3000 and I can build something that makes it look like a calculator for around £250.

# My MESH cost about £1300 and was literally a beast at the time
and was for a good couple of years, then very quickly seemed very old; though I got seven years out of it

# hehe. I got about 14 months out of mine before I replaced almost all of it.
And I've been doing the same ever since. Only now I have 5 of the things instead.
