Back when I ran a BBS, "Griff's Tavern", I bought a 660 meg SCSI HD for
$1900.00. This was in the Early 90's. The guy that sold it to me said, "You
will never use that much space!"
I ran Wildcat BBS Software later changing to TAG. I ran BinkleyTerm and was a
mail distributor on Fidonet for most of the Houston Area. 2 lines @ 1200 each.
Later upgrading to 2 US Robotics 9600 Baud High Speeds for $1200 sysop discount
price. Ahhh.. The good old days!

- Not too long ago I ran across some old Byte magazines. They were advertising
143 KB floppy drives for more than that. I forget exactly what the price was,
but I think it was closer to $500. That was back when the way you wrote to disk
with an Apple was to issue a PRINT command that began with Ctrl-D character
which meant it was a disk command rather than a real print command.
