I remember when I bought an 40MB hard drive back in the day. (Yes, megabyte, not gigabyte) And I labeled it "WOWSOBIG", because it was huge for me. When I bought a 32" flat screen when those first released I thought that was big. Now even the TV in the bedroom is a 48" and that just the small secondary TV. One of my neighbors across the street has a TV as big as his wall, I can watch his TV from my window.
Funny how perspectives change over time.
I remember when we bought our first Windows PC in 1995 (We had had Tandy 1000 & a Commodore 64 before then) the sales guy told us, if you upgrade to the 1GB hard drive you'll never fill it up in 20 years.
Fuck commission based sales.
