I was more of a trash-80 than Commode-64 guy. And I still end up tying my fingers in knots when I try to learn a string instrument.
Just remember, "The 40 megabyte hard drive is bigger than anyone will ever need. It's impossible for a person to gather enough information to fill this drive."

In my case that was true, though. An 85MB drive served me well in my A1200 until 2010. I replaced it with a cool, silent 20GB drive, and found I could only use about 1% of it or else my 6MB system ran out of memory and crashed!
Funny how the A1200 is able to fully utilize drives larger than 4GB, but even with a RAM board expansion it can't handle that much space!

Fun fact: the C-64 load times were so slow because some idiot manager told manufacturing to eliminate the high-speed serial ports. Not sure what something does? Reduce costs by hacking it off!
Only later did the engineers find out what happened, and the shit hit the fan[s]. The only fix was to re-purpose the insanely slow serial port to run the disk drive.
A shame, too, because the disk drive actually had the same CPU as the C-64 itself, and was otherwise a phenomenal storage device for its day.
