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 being so happy my HD was big enough that I could have OG Fallouts "Humongous Installation" on it. About 700MB.

It was back when 1GB was seen as 1TB was a few years ago.

How time flies...
