I remember when I bought an 40MB hard drive back in the day. (Yes, megabyte, not gigabyte) And I labeled it “WOWSOBIG”, because it was huge for me. When I bought a 32" flat screen when those first released I thought that was big. Now even the TV in the bedroom is a 48" and that just the small secondary TV. One of my neighbors across the street has a TV as big as his wall, I can watch his TV from my window.
I remember when we bought our first Windows PC in 1995 (We had had Tandy 1000 & a Commodore 64 before then) the sales guy told us, if you upgrade to the 1GB hard drive you’ll never fill it up in 20 years.

Funny how perspectives change over time.

Fuck commission based sales.
We played goldeneye in 4 Player splitcreen on a 13" TV back in the day. I don’t even know how we did it, it was so small.
I remember being so happy my HD was big enough that I could have OG Fallouts “Humongous Installation” on it. About 700MB.
It was back when 1GB was seen as 1TB was a few years ago.
How time flies…
