  • In the compsci building at uni, there is a museum of sorts in the hall to the labs. At the beginning of the storage section, there is a 20Mb storage device. It is the size of a washing machine, I have no idea how much it weighs, but it has to be in the 100’s of kg range.

    Sitting on top are much more modern devices, 5.25"/3.5"/2.5" drives; I haven’t been back for a decade to know if they kept going as tech improved.



  • I have multi-sensory aphantasia. No pictures/sounds/tastes/touch/smell. My inner voice is soundless but constant.

    I discovered aphantasia at 40; it is not a lack or detriment merely a difference. I talked with my Mum about it, she is has aphantasia and didn’t realise and she is 66.

    Aphantasia doesn’t hold you back or make life harder; especially since you can go decades without realising that you have it.

    You may have other stuff, ASD or ADHD etc…but aphantaisa isn’t in the same realm.
