Hard disk

Looks like I’m back on the computer history beat again: Celebrating the 55th anniversary of the hard disk.
Like much else in our pervasive IT world the disk drive’s roots were laid down by IBM, and first appeared in a product called the 305 RAMAC, The Random Access Method of Accounting and Control, launched this week 55 years ago. Ah, those were the days.
Wow, the hard disk is even older than I am!
