In our department purchase logs, I can see purchases of CDC 94601-12G
1230MB disks going back as far as 2/90, and ST41200N 1.04GB disks
starting around 6/91.  So, I'm not sure who would have thought 1 GB
was big in 1995, when we were buying disks in the 2-4 GB range, eg,
ST15230N.  What year were you talking about?  ;)
