Hard Times (May 21, 2007)

[Bandit LOAF]

Here's a cute reference we came across - Tom's Hardware Guide's Spring Hard Drive Guide mentions Wing Commander II:

Back in pre-gigabyte times, you often had to move data from your hard drive before you could install something else. I remember that I had to erase the game Wing Commander II off the hard drive, so I could install Strike Commander in the early 1990s. The latter required 40 MB (including the speech add-on), while my Maxtor hard drive could store 120 MB. Can you imagine having to delete data on your hard drive today? I doubt it.

Uninstall Wing Commander II?! I'm not sure I want his advice about hard drive quality! Joking aside, it is amazing how far away those days have become...
