Precious Memory and Memories

When I grew up, computer memory was a precious resource. I bought a Radio Shack TRS-80 during the summer between high school and college. It came with 4KB of DRAM.

So now, each time I buy memory storage, I'm a bit amazed by the increasing amount and continually falling price.



I'm serious about backing up many of my key, Flickr albums locally. It is taking a while to have the service create ZIP files. Then I have to download, rename, and copy them. However, doing so will give peace of mind which seems worth the effort.
