A 5 MB hard disk drive from Apple cost $3,500 in 1981. I think it had gone down to $2000 by 1986.

I created and headed up a new corporate graphics department in 1992, and everybody in IT was all atwitter about the gigabyte hard drives on the Mac Quadra 900’s, saying it was a waste of money, they’d never be filled up. The IT guys hated the Macs, actually sabotaged getting them connected to the corporate network. Had to bring in outside techs to get it done.

Our data storage cabinet that stood 7 feet high and 4 feet wide and 4 feet deep only held 8GB.

And I just bought a 16GB SD card for $5, half the size of a fingernail. Ain't progress wonderful?
