How do people manage to use so little?

[Leros]

If you don't hoard media or have a ton of games, you don't need much more than 40GB or so.

I only have a 250Gb harddrive. I manage it by not saving a lot of local things. I have my music collection and games I buy, and still have 30 GB to work with.

It makes me sad, because I cannot really by modern games, and have been out of the loop for a hot minute.

250gb is easy if you make sacrifices.

If you don't game or store media, quite easily.

My first build had 20MB MFM drives son. Don't talk to me about progress.

November 2011 (Incoming: 133051 MB / Outgoing: 44919 MB)

Yeah? Well MY first computer didn't even HAVE a hard drive! It was a two-floppy Mac SE!

Although it was really the family's computer. The first computer that was just mine had an 80 MB drive (Mac IIcx) and the first one I built myself (Athlon XP based) had an 80 GB hard drive.

That was my first IBM compatible machine buddy. My first "computer" had a datasette, the VIC-20. If you really wanna get nasty - I wet my beak on a Casio fx-702. That wasn't even a computer....

NOOBS!
My first computer was some stones and a line marked in the dirt.

(Actually, it was an IBM 286, with a 4 MB Hard Drive & 4 megs RAM)

In my current "Rig", I have an 80 Gig HDD, it contains the saved data, files, etc. from my old desktop, my old work comp., as well as the files from my last 40 gig HDD I had in this machine.
Only have about 3 Gigs Free Space left, though.

I still have a 40GB harddrive on my laptop (my only computer) that is less than half full...

You don't seem to understand streaming.

Streaming is actually the way to use so little. Try again.

Again, I believe the OP is talking about the 250GB per month bandwidth cap that many ISPs have. Not the amount of disk space on his computer.

So let me get this straight... User Pray to Jesus wants to know how people manage to use so little? :hmm:
