When I bought my first Macintosh, I had to make do with only a 40MB hard drive. I was never able to fill it up though. Macintosh software was hard to come by in my area. And the little compact Macintosh with its black and white screen couldn't run much of the software I was able to find. I remember running into dialog boxes quite frequently with the cursed reminder that "this software requires a resolution of 640 by 480" or "this software requires the monitor to be set to 256 colors". None of these requirements could be satisfied on the compact Macintosh.
My next Macintosh was a compact with a 640 by 480 screen that could do 16-bit color. I no longer had the problem of inadequate screen resolution or color depth. Instead, I was now faced with having a woefully inadequate hard drive. You see, my second Macintosh had only a 160MB drive. So it was constantly full because I could now use all of that software that had been previously unuseable.
Yeah, life sucked as a Mac user.
