The Wall Street Bombing, September 16, 1920

Source / Via (NSFW)

From Shorpy: "'Wall Street bomb.' Aftermath of the explosion that killed dozens of people in New York's financial district on September 16, 1920, when a horse wagon loaded with dynamite and iron sash weights blew up in front of the J.P. Morgan bank at 23 Wall Street. The attack, which was attributed to Italian anarchists, was never solved."

Check out that price! I wish I could get an exact date for this Ad, but I could only come within a year or so.

These days, not only would it be tough to find a 10 MB anything (perhaps other than phone sim cards, zip disks, or large floppy disks - remember those regular floppies were 1.44 MB), but you can buy a 2 TB external hard drive for about $150.

Just for clarity: 2 TB = 2,000 GB = 2,000,000 MB.

Finally, you can get 200,000-times the storage capacity for about 4.5 % the price!

Go back in time, and tell that salesperson, "Hey dude, in 2010 I'd be able to buy two hundred thousand of those for $150!"

I won't even go into size.
