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..........

“My first HDD was a 40MB Seagate”

First one I ever bought was for our IBM AT (bigger brother to the PC). A huge metal can that held an astounding 5 megs, and only cost $1800+. Of course at the time, money wasn’t a concern because after all, nobody could ever fill up 5 megs. And compared to those big 8” floppies that only held 180k, we were now in the big leagues!

If you're anything like me, you'll have files 10 times bigger than that now.

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.
