what small physical gift would you give your past self?
I have some cool little key carabiners that I would have appreciated at any age
You're viewing a single thread.
A CD-ROM filled with advice, requirements, financial planning (nothing outrageous), a plethora of medical advice in regards to depression and ADHD, and a few books in PDF form. Also, a laundry list of "no no's".
700mb can go a long way in this situation. I've thought about it before.
I'm always amazed how little space it takes to store huge amounts of plain text. Especially when it's compressed. That old saying "a picture is worth a thousand words" is off by a few orders of magnitude.
I remember when CDROMs were first introduced, and available on computers. The advertising blurb was, "able to fit the ENTIRE Encyclopaedia Britanica on ONE disk!" I'll admit, I was pretty impressed, but this was before I had any idea about how information dense the written word is compared to other media.
People used to like to say a picture is worth a thousand words. You can't have much of a picture in 5kB.
I remember being little and adding a 10mb hdd to my first PC and my dad saying "who could ever use all this space??"
You could put the full text from the entire English Wikipedia on a few DVDs
It needs to be presented as an Encarta CD-ROM or I would not even look at it.
Oh. I would be interested in that! A post/comment from you with the advice, requirements, medical advice pertaining to depression and adhd and a "laundry list of no-nos". Please do say!
I have not forgotten about your request. Give me time to collect my thoughts, make sure they're cogent, and generally applicable to those who may read it.
