In 1982, I remember my University purchasing 256K "words" of memory for a main frame for some ungodly amount of money.
In 1999, a hospital I worked at bought a 0.5 TB "magneto optical jukebox" to store medical images. It was 3 or 4 feet across and 5 or 6 feet tall. Also ungodly expensive.
And today, we have 2 TB on a fingernail for a couple hundred bucks.
FYI a complete version of Oregon's Trail is available to play on Oregon's Tourism website.
I never got to Oregon as a kid. I only got to on play it during computer class. Yes, we had a class where we used a computer called computer class.
I just recently found out you can play it free online and I finally crossed this off my Gamercard bucketlist. It's sad how terrible I was as a kid. I just kept going hunting thinking I would save all that meat and ran out of time. This is like the most basic level of resource management and I was clueless.

It's 1992. Friend: "My dad got a new computer. It has 80 MB storage." Me: "Yeah, sure, dude. What would he use that for?"
