I worked in a computer store when I was about 15 (late 80s). I still laugh sometimes when people complain now about running out of hard drive space, because back in those days, we sold comuters that ran off two 5.25" floppy drives and there was NO hard drive. (You could "upgrade" to a 10mb hard drive. 10 -megabyte- lol) 512k memory, CGA/EGA monitors, running on DOS. You haven't had a true gaming experience until you've played a game where it says "insert disc 11 to continue."
