He said, and we all know this in our hearts, there is not enough need to keep
adding capacity to the desk top. Asking engineers at leading PC makers what their
customers really need, they all agree about 2 gig is enough. OEMs are adding
capacity more because they can, without raising cost, rather than due to user
demand. It's a selling point that one model has a bigger drive, but capacity is
beyond need now.


2 gig? you must be joking. By the time I load Microsoft Office and the full release of Quake II and Quake II MP, I've already chewed up 2 gig. When DVD multimedia games start shipping in earnest, expect people to need 400-500 meg local storage for each game, just to make it go fast. Give people additional disk space and they will find a way to need more.
