Similarly, I remember, when the 10MB Winchesters came out, wondering who
on Earth would need to store 10MB of data _on_ an internal drive? Of
course, those were the days when there wasn't much but text or binary
files and a whole big bunch of text or data files would fit on a floppy.

What was I thinking? A whole big bunch of text and data files will
_still_ fit on a floppy. It's just that floppy drives are being replaced
by inexpensive CD and DVD RW storage that store more and have better
data retention, more or less.
