This is what my first PC was my freshman year of college back in 1990. Felt damn good I got the 65MB hard drive instead of the typical 40MB that most machines had back then.

Heh, this has an 80 MB hard drive and it is killing me with how small it is. I’m constantly transferring stuff back and forth.
Luxury!

I had a 40MB hard drive on my Cyrix 386, and double-spaced it to "80"MB

It's crazy to think how little 40MB is now, I've edited PowerPoint decks larger than that.

I still remember all the tricks to make a floppy disk fit more data and get more ram. This was long before websites like https://downloadmoreram.com were invented.
