Yep. My first computer (a TRS-80 CoCo) used cassette tapes for storage.
When I got my next computer, an Apple //c, those dual 140K 5.25" floppy drives seemed like nothing short of a miracle.
My first PC (a homebrew 8088 PC-XT clone) originally had two 5.25" 360K floppy drives. When 3.5" 1.44M drives became available, I bought two of them, along with a funky controller card that allowed me to use all four drives at once.
With 2.88 MB on line (a disk in each of the 3.5" drives), I was able to run a small BBS on that computer. Although the software publisher refused to support (or even sell me a license) a system without a hard drive, I found that it worked rather well, for a text-only (no file-download section) BBS.
But that first hard drive, 80MB and a 28ms seek time, seemed like heaven on Earth. It seemed that I could just save everything in the world to it and it would never fill up.
