I worked for a successful mail order/retail housewares business in 1991.
We did an inventory of storage for a business continuity project, and
between 2 S/38s, 2 AS/400s, a VAX, a Netware network and a handful of
PCs (most everything was terminal based) we came up with 80 gb of
storage.

This environment handled everything from inventory, ordering,
fulfillment, email, customer databases, catalog creation, list
management and more.
