I remember when I got that first “Disk full error” on that MASSIVE 10 Meg hard drive. That was a shocker!

We sold computers for a living in the 80's and 90's. Our first was in 1982, a dual floppy, don't remember how much ram and a 10" orange monitor, cost $5,000. Everybody we met wanted one, so we became a dealer for a brand, then we built them ourselves for almost 20 years. High end graphics and cad systems, many of them we custom built for the programmers at Microsoft.

I remember when in about 1983 or 84 we put a 5MB hard drive in a dual floppy machine. Everybody that came into our store and saw it, said, "what would you need all that storage for?" Lol, still laugh about it today.

So you went out and bought a Bernoulli Box with REMOVABLE 20MB cartridges!
Who would need anything more?
