I remember running out of space on my 80MB HDD and got a deal(!) on a 600MB
HDD for ~$550. I can remember thinking that it would be the last hard drive
I'd EVER have to buy!! ROTFLMAO!! That was probably 1990 or 1991, running
DOS4.0, then a little later, Windows3.0. I think that drive lasted until I
upgraded to Windows 95 and started buying 95 compatible programs. That 600MB
filled up pretty rapidly after that!
