Costco, Capricorn, and Terabytes

Costco, Capricorn, and Terabytes

Just faded memories, brought about by Costco, Capricorn and Terabytes. It was a Capricorn client who turned me onto Costco’s superior services, earth-friendly attitudes, and the novel concept of treating employees well, which, it turns out, does help the bottom line.

I pulled the ad out of the Costco circular, and as I paged through, the “3 Terabyte BU Drive” caught my attention. No price, but a coupon for “20 off,” sure.

Limit? Five. Five by Three Terabytes, that’s 15 terabytes of data storage. Right on the desktop, straight from the warehouse store.

That’s a some serious storage. Last time I checked, I was running about a three-quarters of that, just in website, and then, of course, back-up and e-mail.
