I can remember buying a Zenith PC, with a 20 meg hard drive. Pure luxury to not have to switch floppy disks every time I wanted to switch programs. Never though I would ever fill up 20 whole megs.

Wow. The first computer I worked on was the IBM 1130 with 8K Memory and .5 Mb removable disk storage. Programming was in Fortran. Am I old or what?
