We’re big fans of John O’Farrell’s satirical news Website, NewsBiscuit.
We haven’t seen an Isle of Wight-related spoof on there for a long time, but today’s offering caught our eye.
Titled, ‘Isle of Wight man finally fills 10Mb disk drive’, the article tells the story of the Isle of Wight’s resident computer expert, Harold Andrews, finally running out of storage on his 10Mb storage drive that he purchased in 1986.
NewsBiscuit is always good for a giggle and whenever they have a pop at the Island, it’s always friendly.
Photographic evidence
We just so happened to have an old 10Mb drive knocking about in our technology hoard museum (see pictured).
