And MS Word for the Mac fit on a 400K floppy. The first external hard 
drive was 5 Meg which seemed a lot of memory space at the time. When the 
first 20 Meg hard drive came out I wondered what anyone would do with 
all that memory. Now days a printer driver takes up more space.  I 
waited until the memory price dropped to just under $500 show special 
for a Meg of RAM to max out my 128K Mac to 1 Meg.
