History of computer memory in pictures…

Royal Pingdom has a nice pictorial history of computer memory up on their blog. While it is in no way complete, I love pictures like the one above showing women in their 2001 Space Odyssey outfits running server rooms.

Fascinating! :)
Is it me or does all that stuff seem more “futuristic” than what we have nowadays?

I worked with some of those. Magnetic tapes required an operator to mount them. So we had to call them by phone in advance.
5 1/4 floppys were so expensive I had to save some money to buy a pack of 10.
Good times though.
