This reminds me of an old WSJ article that I read a bit over 30 years ago that was written when people were just starting to use PCs with then massive 10 mmegabyte hard drives. One of the parties to a law suit was a union official whose computer had been subpoenaed and the contents of his hard drive were printed out, adding up to about 34,000 pages. Now, just imagine what a tetarabyte of text must print out to. It would probably equal the contents of the Vatican Library.

That would be 1988. PC’s used ‘386 processors and Macs used 680x0 chips. Good disks for businesses that knew hot to take use of their computers used 80Mb hard drives and Windows for work group was popular. 5 1/4 floppy drives were around but they were disappearing quickly and 3 1/2 drives were on the rise.
