    Yeah. I remember my friend and I running out to buy hard drives when the price dropped to $1/MB. We never thought they’d get that cheap.

      Do you happen to recall about when that happened?

      I remember buying a 250 MB Seagate hard drive sometimes when I was in high school in the mid-90s, and I think it cost something like $250, but I’m really not sure.

        Man, I barely remember what I ate for breakfast…

        But it had to be somewhere in the 1988-1992 range. I’m trying to remember if I was still in high school or in college by that point.

          hahaha Sorry for the tough question. That time range sounds about right to me when I bought that hard drive I’m thinking about.
