To which Commodore Clifford replies...

I wish I had been able to have a HD in my 8-bit youth days.  My first HD
was a 20mb Supra HD for the ST which I soon traded for an 80mb.  Both
times I figured "I'll never use up all this space".

A couple years later, I had a 320mb and a 2.1gb (that monster cost me
$999).  5.25" full height monster.  It was still running the BBS a few
years ago but started to flake out and I got nervous about it.
