Yep.
I still remember doubling my harddrive from 20mb to 40mb and thinking what a giant leap forward.
Prior to that we were zip compressing everything we could to conserve space, stripping unnecessary files outta programs...anything. I even recall investing in an HP Colorado travan tape drive for backup at one point (400mb tapes) - just trying to expand capacity.
