OMG even if I'm only 22 this takes me back. I remember an old PC I was tinkering with back in the XP days that wouldnt take XP because the HDD was too small. When we checked it was only 2GB.

I remember filling up my 8MB Playstation memory cards and having to beg my mom for more.

My first PC only had an 80GB of ram, and one of my friend's PC had 4GB of ram and we were like "damn, 4GB or ram".

 

i remember having status updates for this.

There seems to be a very blurry line between status updates and what can be posted in Off Topic.

that seems to be true.

 

i draw the line between "other people need to see what i think" and "i need opinions on what i'm thinking"

My first PC had a 1 Gb hard drive.

I remember telling everyone I was getting a PC with one thousand megabytes! They were like 'lolnoob you cant have that much memory'.

I cared not, I was only 8 or 9.

Linus is my fetish.
