So modernity expects a person like me to be happy with 256 GB. But I've always been a fan of over-provisioning because the unpredictable and the unexpected is an everyday thing in my life.
What is unexpected about needing more memory and disk spaceon a computer? <BEG>
Oh, Gene, Gene, Gene.
Don't you see? We don't actually need *any* memory or disk space on our computers at all anymore. It's all done in the cloud! Sooo secure, and reliable, and everything is just taken care of for you, so you don't need to worry your little head about it! In fact, we should thank the IT powers that be for condescending to even allow our localized devices to continue to work for a few more years, so we can have time to adjust to the brave new world.

IT is just great! It is totally blue sky! Not a cloud in ... uh ...
