Thinking of Maxtor gives me warm fuzzy feelings. That 20gb disk felt like it could store the world.

- redis_mlc 7y agoI had one of the first double-height 70 MB drives when it came out. It literally could hold all of the popular software of the time, around 50 applications. I also had one of the first CD-ROM drives at work (the Japanese director had connections at Sony.) We were like, "How can anybody possibly ever fill 650 MB of data storage?" We ended up mastering our own satellite data CD-ROMs to demonstrate to people what was possible.
