Hey, compared to what the OP is referring to, a 500MB drive is like technology from the distant future - a veritable flying automobile!

And it's only $2500*!
Plus instillation kit.

I do have a 20MB somewhere also but it is huge

Ahhh... Back in the good'ol days....
If you wanted to install a new program, you had to remove one.

The 500MB SCSI is really old I tink over 10 years and it is still working - that's seagate at 10K rpm I don't mind

On the back of our Mac SE it says "Hard drive - 8SC". What the hell is an SC?

Hmm - I did my PhD on a 50MB hard drive back in '88-'90. I would set up a MESFET (not a typo - I was working with MESFETs not MOSFETs) simulation run on a Monday, go the pub^W library till Thursday, analyse the results till the end of the following week, delete the raw data to free up space and start again on Monday.

When writing up my thesis I had to keep uninstalling and reinstalling WordPerfect to free up hard disk space between chapters so I could reanalyse my analyses.

Ah, those were the days.

Well entire operating systems could fit onto floppy disks. Imagine, even something like Windows 3.1, which was pretty cool at the time, had what I thought was a decent GUI, had graphics, had icons, and programs for you to type out documents and such.........and it fit on floppy disks. Now we need DVDs to install something with the same, albeit nice, graphics, but with very little change in terms of how the user interacts with the computer.

You don't even have to wait that long here's one from about five years ago.

believe it or not: Windows 95 also shipped on floppy disks .... a friend still has the original disks lying around ... all 40+ of them

you could also trade the Win 98 CD in for discs if you sent in the voucher that came in the box

I have a 5MB HD from a 4.77mhz XT, Alt+ and you could send it in to 9Mhz "turbo" mode!
