INTERNET HUMOR PAGES

God first begat the full height 5 1/4" drive, and it ran hot, and it ran noisy, and it vibrated, and there was trembling and sleeplessness among the white-coat staff, and God saw that it was so-so.

Then God begat the half height 5 1/4" drive, and it ran hot, and it ran noisy. But it vibrated less than God's previous incarnation, so the trembling white-coat staff was able to sleep while they trembled, and God saw that it was an improvement and He did grin in thought.

Then God begat the half height 3 1/2" Atlas and Barracuda, and they ran hot but not so hot as their predecessors, and they ran noisy but not so noisy as their predecessors, and they did not vibrate so that the server box had to be tied to the floor. And there was cautious optimism among the white-coat staff which had recently traded the white coats for suits and neckties and preferred to be called CNE. And God saw that this was another improvement, and He did chuckle.

Then God begat the 10,000 RPM 1" height 3 1/2" Atlas and the Barracuda, and the Cheetah, and the Fujitsu, and they ran very warm but not so warm as their predecessors, and they ran noisy but only in comparison to desktop drives, and they barely vibrated at all, and they had capacities greater than 4.3GB. And there was rejoicing among the CNEs, who had traded their suits and neckties for Dockers and golf shirts and no longer prostrated themselve toward Provo, and preferred to be called IT staff. And God saw that this was an improvement, and He did smile.

Then came the dark days when the demons combined Quantum and Maxtor. There was distrust, and there were quality concerns. And the IT staff did worry, and there was great gnashing of teeth. And God was angry and declared that Maxtor should not see the light of the server room.

Then God begat the 15,000 RPM 1" height 3 1/2" Cheetah, and they ran warm but reasonably so in light of their speed, and they ran noisy but resonably so in light of their speed, and they barely vibrated at all. And there was again much rejoicing among the IT staff, which had traded their Dockers and golf shirts for Levis and Counter Strike t-shirts, and now preferreed to be called geeks. And God saw that this was cool and went out for pizza and beer with the geeks.
