Yesterday evening, the Amazon guy brought a Crucial 2TB mini SSD. This morning I formatted and checked it out. I moved some data from another that looks idential but holds just 1TB. I shall gift that one to Jay's younger sister to hold all her selfies and I'll keep the newer, double-sized one for carrying around movies, or something ...
I had a conversation with a friend via Whatapp that this little device would hold nearly six million of the original type of IBM floppy discs that I once used. Not the rigid 3.5" ones but the bendable 5.25" type. It's mindboggling, isn't it?
My second image shows today's newspaper on our coffee table. We started getting the Vancouver Sun delivered a long time ago, probably when we bought this apartment in 1998. We may have been getting deliveries for over a quarter of a century. Newspapers are no longer so important, but Jay was reluctant to give up on it. They cut days and don't deliver on Sundays or Monday. It continues getting thinner and thinner with less news inside. We could really never depend on it for international news but now there's barely any regional news either. As an added insult, they have made stopping subscription when we're away harder and harder. On top of that, it is getting far too expensive. I guess it's time to finally call it quits.
I think there is a relationship between these two photos today. How would you describe the connection in a simple statement?
