  1. For the kids in the crowd … my first HD was 20 MB – on an “enterprise” system. My first “personal” HD was a mere 5 MB, brand spanking new and many dollars per MB. That was only about twenty years ago (the 5 MB drive).

  2. You whippersnappers. My first “computer” was an Underwood with a two-color ribbon (black & red), and it didn’t even have an Apple key! You had to draw the Apple symbol by hand. On the plus side, it didn’t require power. Or a screen.

  3. I said my first HD – not computer – was 5 MB. I’d resisted buying smaller ones for even more dollars per MB. The 5 MB HD plugged into a C=128D, a floppy-based system. My wife was using a dual-floppy Osbourne 1 at the time, with a built-in 128K RAM drive. My C=128D also sported a RAM drive, and an external 3″ “floppy” drive.
    My wife’s current 20″ AliMac is quite amazing, in contrast. And it cost less than that 5 MB HD! Still … are these large programs – from Apple, no less – designed to force a continuous system upgrade? It makes good business sense, that’s certain, but … give me a break, OK?

  4. My first computer was a main frame.

    I had to punch holes in cards and send the stack to a remote office.

    The result returned a week later. Total processing time was 0.0001 seconds. They charged 21 cents.

    No iLife in those days.

  5. I am old. Old enough to remember when efficient use of memory was a virtue and a MB was a big quantity of data.

    I used cassette tapes to load software in my first computer. It was an Interact (gray plastic case with built in cassette drive) and came with a whopping 16K of RAM. When you loaded BASIC, there was “4698 bytes left free.” I spent some time programming a tank game, but ran out of RAM before I could get it completed.

    It was great when I stepped up to an Apple II+ with 48KB of RAM (plus a 16KB “language card”) and DUAL 5-1/4″ floppy drives (140KB, I believe). I remember the 5, 10 & 20MB 5-1/4″ form factor HDDs. They weighed quite a few pounds, too. The contrast with the tiny HDDs in iPods is amazing…
