Guess what that is being loaded into the airplane.


Give up? It's a hard disk drive back in 1956... With 5 MB of storage.

In September 1956 IBM launched the 305 RAMAC, the first 'SUPER' computer with a hard disk drive (HDD). The HDD weighed 
over a ton and stored a 'whopping' 5 MB of data.
 

Do you appreciate your 8 GB memory stick a little bit more now?
Thanks Larry!
