Remember those days when computers were the size of your garage? Hell, no! It’s hard to imagine that the first computers were so large and did so little. The average cell phone nowadays is more advanced then those first mammoth machines. But we gotta give’em credit, they were the first and they started the technological revolution which changed the world as we knew it. Christie’s auction house in New York City is auctioning off some classic computer memorabilia. "Items  up for grabs include an early version of a data storage disc dating from 1951. It weighs 5.5 pounds and could only hold about the equivalent of one paragraph of text." – Cnet
