4.5 megabytes of data in 1955....

Equals about 62,500 punched cards. 

So..... I guess we wont be storing FS2020 on this, even as a dare......... 🙀

That sorta reminds me of a 1986 lecture at the US Air Force Squadron Officers School given by the late Rear Admiral Grace Hopper, one of the early pioneers in digital computation--she'd start out by handing out "nanoseconds" (0.3m lengths of fiber optic strands that were the length light would travel in one nanosecond) to the audience.  Definitely easier than lugging around a punched-card megabyte...

She was an impressive and captivating speaker, especially if you were a computer geek in the days before everyone had a computer.
