Nikispeak: A storage disk

In Miami airport, we were walking around when I came across a picture of an old 3.5inch disk. Showing it to Nikita, I explained – “Believe it or not, in the 1990s, this is how we stored data. Each one of them could store 1.4MB of data. Put in todays’s terms – just to store ONE of your iPhone pictures, you would need three or four of them. For one photo!!!”

Nikita weighed in what she had heard and said wisely “That just proves one thing…”

Expecting her to comment on the rapid progress of technology, I asked “What?”

Pat came the reply – “That you are really old, Dad”.

Touche!!

Off to experience some family moments

Natasha is still in New York. She decided not to come home this long weekend. She is also not a beach person. So, it is Sharmila, Nikita and myself only for this family vacation. To an island country in the Caribbean full of beaches. A pretty small country actually. Lengthwise, they cannot hold a marathon run without asking you to turn around from the other side. Width wise, it is shorter than the race we did last Saturday.

Any guesses where we are off to? Here is one hint: Don’t forget Irma and Maria!!
