Thanks IainB.

"The black box is the 2.5 megabyte disk drive" . My first PC was an IBM AT with a enormous hard drive of 10 MB. Many people told me I will never use that space, enough for all my needs.

We have now bigger hard disks , but the situation is in The Stone Age still. In my opinion the best is coming !
