LOL!!! Us too! Our first computer was in the 90’s, and like dummies we paid $3500 to get the “latest and greatest”, and i remembered choosing the components and thinking that the 200 mb hard drive tHinki g here was no way we would fil. That up. I used to put game demos on floppy disks, and back then the demos were quite long. When 1 gig drives came out, my n3ighbor said “my word, who would ever need thst much spsce?”

Games today sre in the tens of gigabytes alone, and photos are massive now and wuickly fill up a terabyte drive. If someone had said that woukd,be the case back then we’da looked at them like they had a third eye

What quickly filled up my floppy disks were how much code I kept writing, and having backups, both for floppy failure and if I wanted to revert back to an older version of my code.

And yes, when I eventually had a different computer and bought a 50 megabyte hard drive, some games filled it up with graphics. Though I kept enough space free to do my coding homework for a BS in computer science.

Limited RAM made us teen coders back then into resource management specialists.

I hear you… bought an Amiga 3000 in 1992 with the 100 MB hard drive. Thought it would go forever.
