I remember when I got my first hard drive and thought "How am I ever going to fill up 20 megabytes with stuff?" Of course then your operating system can on a 1.44 MB floppy and you didn't need to install applications.

Reminds me of very early 80's possibly late 70's

My parents bought me the top of the range BBC B with 32kb of memory and a tape recorder to save programs to, and load from.

I recall getting the hobbit game, and it taking 20 minutes of buzzes and whirrs to load up onto the bbc.

Some years later I gifted this to a disabled centre, who I later found out had trashed it upon receipt, because they will not use gifted electronics.

When I was about 28 yrs old, I spotted a bbc b 32kb in local paper, with disk drives. I just had to have it !

Still got it.

Oh how I miss the simplicity of B.A.S.I.C !!!
