You've got a very good point. I have a 5 meg hard drive for my Atari 800xl
and it suits my needs just fine. My Amiga's hard drives are 120 (Still a lot
of left over space) and 85 megs (more than enough). My Mac IIci's hard drive
was 240 and it used it up fairly quickly. I think nowadays most applications
(and OSs) are suffering from severe bloat problems.
