Just speaking from my own experience, which may not be typical, when my employer gave me pentium I transferred two 8-meg memory chips plus a hard drive that I had bought for my old machine into extra slots and bays in the new one and the resulting 32 megs seems far more than I really need for my purposes. Also I can run very fast backups from one hard drive to the other. I have never had a hard drive fail. I almost never use the CD-Rom.

Now when I found myself running around buying TWO ZIP drives and spending a lot of money on the disks I would have been wise (some time back) to get into Iomega.

It seems to me the diminished incremental performance increase of RAM and hard drives and their reliability and interchangeability are already enough to lessen demand to the point of bankrupting some of the companies.
