My C drive is an SSD and crikey it's fast... but god knows how much a 5TB SSD would cost.... in a few years not much but currently, too much.

5TB SSD is USD7k. That's almost as much as a nice bike.

My computer is six years old, it has 791GB of the original 914 GB still free on it.
Am I doing something wrong? How do you use up so much space??

Starting with the As....

My house is quite tidy.

The garage is a different matter!

Yes our house is tidy, however if the family would agree to us having a good declutter there'd be a considerable amount of extra space in it.

The first IBM compatible computer I bought came with a massive 420MB hard drive and I wondered what on earth I'd ever fill it with. Within a year I had ungraded to a 1GB drive.

Now x years on I have just shy of 14TB storage at home.

We used to dream of Mb

Wh first computer was 3K, and my second 48K

My word processor was upgraded to 330 Hz and 1 Megabyte

My first computer had 1kb of RAM which wasn't enough to get it to run a program to draw a sine and cosine wave at the same time.

The second computer had 16Kb that I upgraded to 48. A short few years later I recall sitting in my bedroom soldering in an extra 512Mb of RAM into my Atari 520 STFM so it could run Monkey Island!
