We’re storing data in peanut butter? Please tell me there’s jam involved.

/j it’s amazing we’re talking about petabytes. My first computer had like 600 meg. (Pentium 486 cobbled out of spare- old- parts from my dad’s ~~junk~~”Parts” rack.)

😁 ya my first "computer" was a ZX-81 with 1kB of ram, type too much and it was full! A card with a whopping 16kB later came to the rescue.

It's been a wild time in history.
