My Dad and I were flabbergasted. Twelve gigabytes? You could go an entire lifetime and not need that much storage space! 
My first PC had 1.5 Terabyte storage space. I never thought I would ever even get close to filling it, but now it is full. Took me only 3 years!
My first PC had a 105Mb hard disk, and that was considered large for the time. It fit many top quality games at the same time, and anything else I needed.

My first computer was a cardboard box with a hole cut in it. If you wanted to watch cat videos you had to physically put a cat in the box.

My first computer (that I remember) was a desktop that (I think) ran Windows XP. It's been so long, I may not be remembering correctly.

This wasn't "my" PC, so you still beat me on that, but my brother had a Commodore 64 and he didn't yet have the floppy drive component - everything was stored on cassette tapes. Very, very slow cassette tapes - the 1541 Floppy Drive was a huge upgrade.
As a side note, I can remember the name and model number of a computer component my brother owned 33 years ago, but I spent an hour looking (unsuccessfully) for a usb key I took out of the car this afternoon.

That's because back in the day computer components were emblazoned with what they where in font and tags 3 times the size of that USB device

I know my personal computer habits would just be a waste. I save tons of random things that at the time of saving has a point but then after a few weeks I'll stumble upon them and wonder just what the hell it was saved for. Or I know I saved a file.......somewhere! But will spend an hour rummaging around and not find it, and that's with a single terabyte drive, I wouldn't want to even think about 14 more

Mine was after the whole Commodore 64 thing came and went but it was still an early PC Clone back during the whole XT/ AT thing. It wasn't even a 286.
Fun fact, my first high school computer class used a computer with the old 8" floppies and only wrote to one side. Basic was pretty much all we had to program with at the time, too. Ah, 1981, what a fun year for computing.

My first computer was a fat Macintosh that often lagged out, so you had to give it a good smack for it to get to work again.
It was my own personal Kronk, basically.

My first "computer" was a Hello Kitty chunk of plastic that had a screen the size but not the quality of a gameboy. It had three games on it with only four keys that did anything (the rest just being modeled on). At one point I acquired a memory card that could be inserted to allow me to play three additional games.
I bloody loved that thing.
