i remember bragging when my computer had 40gb storage

I bought my first HDD second hand. It was advertised as 40MB. But it was 120MB. How happy was young me?

Upgrading from 20MB to 40MB was so fucking boss.

I remember switching away from floppies to a--much faster, enormous---80MB hard drive. Never did come close to filling that thing.

Today, my CPU's cache is larger than that hard drive.
