Good lord, I remember our home PC having a 145gb drive, thereabouts.

I remember when my family's home PC had a 500 MB hard drive.

And before then at school the old comps had no hard drive, just rom for the OS and a disk drive

My first hard drive was 20 megabytes. That was considered hugely advanced.. you couldn't even boot from it, needed a boot floppy.
