Do you know what a root directory is?

What generation invented what you have today?
One meg of what?
My first computer was a C64 wtih a whopping 64k ram (minus the operating system) and the games fitted usually on a 128kb 5 1/4 inch disk. There was no hard drive. I even still had a "Datasette" (well that's the German term, it's actually a cassette player), though I don't recall ever using it.
1 Meg of disc space, that would have been pure awesomeness.

I'm feeling so old now.
