Hmmm... I have not read what IBM has been up to for 6 months. I normally am right on top of Hard Drive development. A working PC HD, I'd say 320 GB. Bu tknowing IBM, they have probably got a lab model working at 1.2TB (1,200 GB).
You said largest hard drive yet created (I'm assuming that refers to memory, not physical space it takes up), so is this hard drive meant for a PC or is it something to be used in a supercomputer?
If you're talking about that one made using nanotechnology, I think it said something like 10GB per 7 square milimetres... Not sure about that actual size, though.
Well, Phillipe was closest so I might as well give it to him. Late in April IBM sent out a press release saying that they had just manufactured a working 700 Gigabyte HD. If anyone knows of a larger one, please correct me, but this is the largest one I remember hearing of. I'm sure there are larger ones on the drawing boards as we speak.
ok thanks.i heard somewhere of a 1terrabyte harddrive
here is my question:who is the inventor of the mouse and on what is he now working on?
this should be a easy one
My question: Who first developed Visual Basic, when was it first released, and what was the MS internal "code name" (which is still represented in some class names!)
I just saw this question a few days ago soemwhere... maybe at Gamecatcher or something. I'll hold off on an answer so others can have a chance . Give some hints to people, to keep it going each day .
1.) Not a MS employee (AFAIK). Initials AC
2.) Later than 1987.
3.) The code name is the first-part of the (internal ) class-name given to MS Office userforms.
Note: I am away for the next 10 days. I'll leave it to Starlifter or PH to come to a consensus on who is "right" with this question.
The developer of VB was Alan Cooper IIRC.
The very first prototype of VB that was called project 'Ruby' was released and bought by microsoft in 1988, but VB1 was only released in 1991.
No idea about the internal code name - ruby?
Okay.
My question is: What is the theoretical max size of an HardDisk we can achieve today, what technology will it use, and who discovered that technology?
