      Dating myself, I remember when we went from 40mb to 213mb on our 386 and I thought it was infinite space.https://twitter.com/Austen/status/1365676743722364930 …

      One of my fondest memories is going to the store with my dad to buy a new hard drive when I was ~13. I remember us howling with laughter that there was so much space. “How could you *ever* fill up 8 gigabytes?”

          I was telling a coworker about a distance learning class I took at Villanova where you had to call into a conference line for the class. On the phone. It was 2002.

          Don't forget the cover before removing that disk pack, otherwise kiss your grade (and punchcard stack) goodbye

          When I got a ZipDrive I went from 1.4MB floppies to 100MB disks only to replace that within a year or two with a USB drive.
