65MB HDD in '89? Some people had it all.

I had to make do with 20MB until 1992, when I got a 386/33MHz with 60MB HDD. And it was glorious.

I got my first 1GB HDD in like 95 or 98 and thought I would never use close to that....fast forward to now and I'm filling up terra bytes for movies I watch maybe once a year and video games that sometimes I never even play.

Then Strike Commander came out the next year demanding nearly 40MB. xD
