My first HDD was a 40MB Seagate. I paid over $300, mail order. I wondered how in heck I could EVER fill such a thing..........

Darn, I guess that makes me a dinosaur. I seem to recall my first HDD was a Seagate 10 Mb, at least I think it was a Seagate, that cost me somewhere about $800 and the size was huge comparatively speaking and put off a bit of heat. And I thought I was flying along with my 300 baud acoustic modem, my Apple PC 4 bit machine. The 1200/2400 baud fax modems were just coming out. Seems only yesterday.

You have company. The first machine I had was a PC/XT with a 10MB hard drive and a 5 1/4” floppy drive. I later upgraded the machine with a 286 processor running at 8Mhz. A real screamer in its day. :)
