I BOUGHT MY FIRST Apple Mac in 1987. It had 512k RAM and a floppy disk drive, which meant you had to swap disks if you wanted to load a program, or open a file, or save your work.
It was a tortuous process, so I treated myself to a 20 Megabyte hard disk. It cost just over £700. I asked the computer salesman what I’d do when it was full.
‘Twenty megabytes?’ he said, smirking. ‘You’ll never fill that.’
