It's really hard to believe that 10 years ago my brand new 486SX-66 with a half gig HD was a very good system. Now I have no problem filling up my HD's with almost 2 tetrabytes of data.

I remember the 486 era very well. The machines often cost $1000+, and the trend was to build them yourself inside GIGANTIC beige towers that had enough 5.25" bays for every type of storage media you could imagine.
Those DIYers, transplanted into 2015, would have found today's tablets and all-in-one computers terribly impersonal and constricting, and to an extent, I do too.
