The first computer I ever used didn't have a hard drive (Macintosh 128k). The first hand me down computer I had in my room was a 286 with a 500mb HDD.

I vaguely remember that one evening my father drilled into me that if I get a dialogue box with the text [Disk Read Error, (Abort) (Retry) (Initialize)?] That Initialize was never the correct option. Apparently I deleted one of his projects by mistake. I was 5 or 6 at the time

I think my first harddrive was smaller than that, and we had to compress it to get double the space. However, everything ran 4x slower.
