This reminds me of when I got a new PC when I was younger and I was shocked... "WHAT?! THEY COME WITH 128MB RAM NOW??!!!??! AND THEY HAVE A DVD TRAY?!!? No more floppy disks!!!!"

Fuck, those were nice times (except for dial-up internet).

I remember having a CD burner, dvd burner, floppy drive, and Zip drive for those rare occasions.

I remember backing up all my documents on a zip drive and feeling like we reached peak storage.

Last month I bought two 6TB drives into my house because of all my photos/videos.

Felt like we could store the whole world on 100mb zip disks

I still have a bunch of zip disks that I want to examine. Think they're still good?

There’s nothing quite like passing around copies of games that are eight-diskettes large and finding out that disk #8 is unreadable after a 30min install. Good times.

I have the original floppy set for MS Office 4.3 for Windows 3.11.

Fourty-three 3.5" disks.

Hahaha, mfw the last few disks is the same face the morning after a spicy burrito.

I got all excited when the cost of hard drives got down to $10/MB.

The part that's wild to me is I have an SD card in a computer in my pocket that cost $10 or so and is basically disposable but it's larger than the hard drive in my first computer from 25 years ago

I remember upgrading my Macintosh computer from 512kB to A FULL MEGABYTE! Wow, what a difference, suddenly I could run two programs at once - even three small ones.

Ah, the eighties... Those were the days.
