From what I have seen in the past, I believe it took up a whole room. Technology is amazing.

I know that in 92 a IBM 1 GB cost $10,000. 4 meg of ram cost me a few dollars too. Dialup was at 2400 and actually took nearly a 1/2 hour for a page to come up.

You mean "phallic", you tard. Seriously, wtf is "fallace"? Were you jerking off to Mike Wallace from 60 Minutes?

Actually, we both mean "phallus". Oh, real mature with the tard thing. How old are you, 30? Whatever, I'll get over it.

For all I know about your thought process you meant to use the word peanut butter. I only pointed out your sh*tty spelling. And, no, I meant to use the word "phallic" not "phallus". There's a difference.

phal?lic [fal-ik] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
?adjective
1. of, pertaining to, or resembling a phallus.
2. of or pertaining to phallicism.
3. genital (def. 2b).



And like I told you in my reply to your whining PM - grow some skin.
