In college late 80's I worked for the AV dept. Dropping off the AV cart to a computer class I remember the instructor saying that his work computer had a ridiculous size hard drive at 80MB and that no one would ever need anything bigger than a 40MB hard drive.

Not putting miles on your car is like not having sex with your girlfriend, so she'll be more desirable to her next boyfriend.
