Oliver, I started earlier and in the early 80s I bought an Apricot computer with 2 720k floppy disk drives and added a 21MB hard disk. This was so enormous at the time that I partitioned it to keep programs on one partition and data on the other.
Last weekend I went to Bletchley Park where Turing worked to break the German Enigma codes in WWII and then on to an air show. I returned with 2.1GB of .jpeg photos. So in a variant of Parkinson's Law -- Clutter expands to fill the space available.
