That's when partitioning meant a lot more as you greatly reduced cluster size therefore "expanding" the amount of actual data you could store. Now for about the same about of money you can get...what?... 5 TB in drive space? How things changed... |
I still have a 4mb hard drive around here. And like you said, not a single file was on it that wasn't needed. But now a days, most of us save more then we have to, just because we can.
