640kb should be enough for anyone.

🤣 I don't even remember the days before mb, my first computer had a whole 32 mb of ram and and a 512 mb hard drive. Man, I suppose we shouldn't complain. 

Going from the 5 1/4" floppy to the 3.5" floppy disc was one of my happiest moments. I loved those things.

We started with 2 10 MB HDDs, less HD space than your first computer's ram ;)

I still have a 2 Kb memory expansion 'card' larger than the size of an LP album from an old main frame computer.

Jesus we really have come far with 2Tb on something the size of micro SD cards and for really cheap too, 100 euro for brand name. I remember when you could get a 512 mb on micro SD cards and it blew my mind and it doesn't feel all that long ago. That 2kb is quite a huge piece of tech. 

PC towers were mostly empty space though for much of the 90's in the early 2000's, it's like they didn't wanna shrink them down for some reason until they just started doing it all at once. They kept the tower big for no reason at all in that period when it would have been easy to make them more compact. 

Wtf. Ff7 Rebirth is 160 gb. That's bollachs. I bought it on the disc thank god but 144 gigs and two hours to pull it off the disk. So after downloading FF7 Remake at 85 gigs, this intermission expansion at 20 gigs, FF7 Rebirth installed off the disc at 144 gigs woth a 15 gig patch. That's 265 gigs for what is effectively two thirds of a game. The three games which will complete FF7 remake will be near if not over 400 gigs. One half of a PS5 Slims storage and 60% of an OG PS5's storage. I'm installing these cause I got an SSD and I though wtf, I'll have them handy and I might get on this FF7 ride but ...man. the 360 releasing with 20gb doesn't seem so terrible these days. Unbelievable. At least my SSD expansion has 1000 gigs actually usable.

My first computer was a TRS-80. It had 4K RAM on board. My father spent $300 on the Expansion Interface, which was the size of a VCR, increased the RAM to a whopping 16K, and doubled as a monitor stand. Also added some ports for printers and modems and such. And most games didn't utilize the RAM in the Expansion Interface. It ran off of 5/14 inch floppy disks and cassette tapes. The same cassette tapes you used in a Sony Walkman. You listed files on the tapes by how many minutes into the tape (using a mechanical counter on the tape recorder that had to be manually reset by punching a button) before the files started.
