I must be real old. I remember thinking my 10Mb (yes, Megabyte) Seagate ST-412 was "more than I will ever need" because it would hold the same amount of data as more than 100 170Kb 5.25 inch floppies. It cost me nearly $1000 in the early 80s, and my first marriage.
In 1993, I bought my one and only factory-made "IBM clone" PC, a Gateway 33MHz 486DX. It came with an "upgraded" 40Mb drive, which again, was more than I will ever need. I also opted for a RAM upgrade, quadrupling the stock 8Mb to a whopping, more than I will ever need, 32Mb of RAM. And I upgraded to the monstrous, bigger than I will ever need, 15" "color" monitor and a graphics card with more graphics RAM (1Mb) than I will ever need too. All for the nice low price of $2570.
