And I remember when I thought my new 340mb HDD was all I would ever need. LOL!
I remember upgrading a 2 floppy IBM PC with a 10M hard drive, and then being shocked several months later when it ran out of space.
Ain’t that the truth?
My first computer that I owned I bought used from a guy who only had it a few weeks. It was a Gateway 386 20Mhz with an amazing 16 MB of memory and featuring a 20 MB HDD. In the old days, DOS used to run a memory test on start up and the first time I turned on that baby, it literally buzzed through the memory test. I still remember how awesome it was!
I remember going from a 10 Mb HD to a 20 Mb HD and thinking how great it was to have all that storage.
Just 2 years later, 100-200 Mbs were common and necessary.
Yep, I remember paying $750 for a 20 megabyte hard drive. My gal was mad because she said I would never fill it. She was right... Ahh, those were the days. Having to learn fortran because the program wouldn't work....
Geez. Am I officially an old fart now?
I remember plonking down $1200 for my first 5MB hard drive, and thinking I’d be in the catbird seat for quite a long time. The number of 8” floppies that thing would hold was incredible, plus it was SOOO fast.
Is that you, Bill Gates?
