Raise a glass

Raise a glass and remember Al Shugart

It's hard to imagine a world without hard disk drives. It amazes me that many of the pioneers of modern technology are still with us, and are still working in their fields, dreaming up new and better inventions. Such was Al Shugart.

"(Shugart's) first disk drive had five megabytes. He couldn't get any money then because nobody thought the world would ever need five megabytes of storage. Here's a guy who thought you not only needed five megs, but you would ultimately need a whole lot more. And he was right,"
