I still remember paying $540 for a 10 MB hard drive.
(Though that seems expensive for 2009...)

hehe ... I don't remember how much it cost, but I do remember the 'I'll never fill it up' joy I was experiencing when I replaced the second DSDD 5-1/4 floppy in my Kaypro 16 with a 10M hard drive.  Add MM CP/M and it was heaven!
 
Meanwhile at work, the UNIVAC had 4 x 4K banks of honest to goodness core memory ... real ferrite donuts.  ROM was called 'non-destructive readout' because a state change was required to generate current (or not) for determining whether a bit was a '1' or a '0'.
 
No ... that's not right.  Kaypro came a few years later when it was DEC PDP at work.  I remember thinking that DEC would end up ruling the world.

I still feel 29 (in my head) except when I crouch and then I try to get up.

Yeah.   Months ago, I bought a roll of speaker wire so that I could move the power amp for my passive studio monitors.  It means that I must get behind the productiom desk and squat while I hook everything up.
 
The full roll is still sitting on the Futon behind me as I type this.

I remember thinking that DEC would end up ruling the world.

I worked on DEC machines starting back when I was a 19-year old hacker consulting to a defense contractor. Unfortunately, 20 years later, what I was considered an "expert" in, was bought and thrown away by Intel and Oracle. 12 years after that and I still can't convince larger companies that I know enough to be employed.
 
Yay. 

I was an Idjit. I didn't know it, unfortunately. I studied Communications and followed up with classes at a recording studio. After completing my training in the studio, I charged out into the world to discover that there were no jobs in that industry within a couple of thousand miles. After wasting a few months, I delivered pizza instead. 
 
I didn't have money to get into computers or study programming, so I missed out on all fun everyone else had with Assembler, Fortran and Cobol. By the time I backed into a job in IT, I was supporting PCs running Windows 3.11 and PC networks running NetWare 3.11. I worked as an IBM AS/400 operator for a while and picked up a little RPG III (which I ended up using a few years later, much to my dismay). Part of my job included using arcane hardware and software to pull data from obsolete technologies into our "modern" AS/400. I used a 300 baud modem (about 60 pounds, four feet long, and encased in a steel case that will survive the next nuclear war) to connect to a remote machine (running PERL) and transfer data using Kermit. Yeah, I thought I was 1337. Totally. 

Age is just a number.......you're as old as you look.

....then I'm 12,863.

I still have Netware 3.11 at work... 

Let me know if you need to apply some Y2K patches. I took care of that on some NetWare 3.11 servers in '99. 
 
You're welcome.

Y2K....  that was the end of the world wasn't?  Is there a patch for it now?

FINALLY!  A conversation that I can participate in and feel up-to-date! 
 
*Sigh...*
