I'm a bit off topic, but reading this reminded me of the 2nd time I needed more storage for my Mac Plus. It started with a 20MB zero- footprint external drive, and I'd later added a 40 (it seemed so huge!). After a while I wanted more so I called one of the mail order companies of the day to order a Cutting-Edge (Quantum) 80Mb drive (On special for ONLY $475. Can.- oh, boy!). I can't help but smile as I recall the salesperson's voice when she asked in disbelief, "What on EARTH are you EVER going to do with eighty megabytes?!"
