My 286er had 2MB RAM and no hard drive, just two 5.25" floppy drives. One to boot the OS from, the other for storage and software.

I upgrade it to 4 MB RAM and bought a 20 MB hard drive, moved EVERY piece of software I had onto it, and it was like 20% full. I sincerely thought that should last forever.

Today I casually send my wife a 10 sec video from the supermarket to choose which yoghurt she wants and that takes up about 25 MB.

I had 128KB of RAM and I loaded my games from tape. And most of those only used 48KB of it.

Yeah we still had an old 8086 with tape drive and all from my dad's university times around, but I never acutely used that one.
