Well you can completely disregard my rant on Apple censoring that dictionary app. Here's Apple's Phil Schiller clearing things up - http://daringfireball.net/2...

Following on from my story of ancient hard drives I thought I'd clarify a couple of points and correct some errata.
I said the capacity of the Gilliver drives was 160KB but 160MB was in my head, I remember it seemed a lot at the time and this was before the PC had launched, it was circa 1978. So I did some research and found the following which may be of interest.
The picture here shows a single platter Gulliver drive but I remember there being at least 4 platters (each platter was 5 or 9MB) in the drives we worked with and they were double sided. This brings me to the thought that maybe these were in fact 60MB drives. Here is a picture http://hardware.silicon.com... You can see the clear case. These drives were big, they fitted full width into a 19" rack. The word processor systems I was working on had 2 drives. One of the demos of the WP system was very fast data retrieval. I created a 16 page (most you could rotate through in very fast succession) animation of a 4 cylinder engine. This animation was used at a trade exhibition of the units.
The original IBM 62GV "Gullivers" drives launched in 1975 and as technology progressed rather slowly in those days I can well imagine we were working on updated versions of the same drive in '78, '79.
Here is an interesting view of the history of the hard disk. http://forums.legitreviews....

On having your facebook public/private: I think I have mine on private because, for a while, I had a stalker, like a seriously insane one, so I needed to have my profile cut off.
