    Around 2000 I remember a guy at the computer store telling me that 20 gigs was a ton and how would I even use it? Well, one pirated 700 Meg movie at a time is how (most pirate copies tried to keep movies to 700 mb so they’d fit on a burned cd)

      (most pirate copies tried to keep movies to 700 mb so they’d fit on a burned cd)

      linux distributions used to do the same. now they dgaf, and some iso don’t even fit on a single layer dvd.

      hell, i just purged more than a “cd’s worth” of old kernels out of /boot here.
