What is this?

Judging from this photo, can you folks tell what on earth is this? It weighs over a ton! Looks like a PABX or does it give you the impression of some electrical equipment found in factories ? Well for your information this was a Computer Hard Disk Drive made in 1956 by IBM and its called the 305 RAMAC. The storage capacity of this monster was only 5 MB! Compare to the thumb drives we have nowadays in Gigs!

    I truly respect the people who made computers so amazing! A few years ago, I was so against having it in my house. Now I cannot live without it! Thank God for computers!!!

    How are you, Bokjae and your missus? May this Christmas bring you joy and love.
