Mega-bytes aren’t what they used to be.

First PC had dual floppy drives. Bought and installed a 30 meg hard drive and was living large.

Exactly.
First PC had dual floppy drives. Bought and installed a 30 meg hard drive and was living large.
The first hard drive I remember seeing was 5 MB and cost a small fortune. The first Gig drive ad I saw (in Infoworld I think) was ten grand. The first terabyte drive I saw was $400 at Staples, just setting out on the shelf.
