I remember when:
- I had a _30_ MB (yes, that is megabyte) hard drive
- I used 5¼" 360 KB (yes, that is kilobyte) floppy disks
- I connected to _BBS_ with a 9600 baud modem

Got you beat.
30 MB external hard drive the size of a small desktop
160KB floppy (320 but you had to manually flip the disk)
2400 baud modem with nearly nothing to connect to.

Wow, yeah... my 30 MB hard drive still fit in a normal 5¼" drive bay.

Manually flip the floopy? Is that even a 5¼" floppy?
replied 1620d
Yep. Single sided drive. You could use the other side of the disk by taking a paper punch & putting a notch in the side & flipping it over. Or spend more money on disks with the notch.

Yeah sure we will just Fork BCH and use that for large data.
Then we will have 2 BCH coins and it will be even more powerful.

From what you wrote, I think you meant to reply another message thread instead of this one... 😁
replied 1621d
You seem to be holding a defensive position. Are you afraid of us forking into more BCH coins?
replied 1621d
Whoops, my bad. I truly forgot this topic thread is on BSV. My post on 30 MB hard drive and so on was purely nostalgic.
replied 1621d
Having said that, I have minimum knowledge of forking and its implications. Not afraid, just clueless.

Okay, sorry I gave you a hard time about the issue.
replied 1620d
No worries, none taken. Cheers!

So you don't believe we will ever need or want 1 gigabyte blocks?
replied 1620d
We may get there. But I only see it as a user.

Imagine smartphone internet: 2G, 3G, and now 4G for me. I'm happy with what I have. I don't care if US and China fights over 5G dev.
