Pioneers of computer memory

This article was a learning experience, I had no idea that the guy who founded Seagate was in ex IBM employee and that he also created the first 5.25 floppy drive. It was interesting learning about the first supercomputer, which I was also unaware that IBM built the first supercomputer. It's crazy that it weighed a ton and had to be shipped through a modified cargo plane. This article really shows how far we have come in technology. Now we can carry around little computers in our pockets, when back then the first ones weighed so much that they could barely be transported.
