When I bought my first PC about 1982. The seller told me that I would never live long enough to fill up the 10MB drive. I still bought the 40MB drive and it was still too small.
I remember getting a 2 GB hard drive and thinking I'll never be able to fill it up. Now I have video files more then 10 times that size
I think you might be off by a few years at least, a 40MB drive in 1982 would've been incredibly uncommon.
Idk man.

Seems like 30MB wasn't horribly uncommon in "mid-range systems" in 1980, so I doubt that 40MB in 1982 would've been "incredibly uncommon."
But I've no personal experience from the time.
"Mid-range systems" is not referring to personal computers. "8-inch drives" is another clue.
True, he did say PC, fair enough.
It is possible that I might be slightly mistaken over something unimportant that happened 40 years ago. Yes it is possible.
