I remember thinking, “how the hell am I ever going to use 20 megabytes?”

My first HDD was a 10mb mfm drive connected to an 8088 processor at a whopping 4.77/7.2mhz turbo processor.

That 10mb mfm drive cost me upwards of $900 "back in the day."

Compare that to the 8 core, 4.2ghz 32GB memory w/GE Force GT660 GPU and Samsung EVO SSD home computer that I built for just under $750 and you can easily see how fast technology has advanced -and cheapened over time.
