But you don’t necessarily even have a hard disk. You might only have a 320K floppy. Floppy-only computers were pretty common in the late 80s when I was in undergrad.

Indeed, I remember having to insert a dedicated 5 1/4" floppy in order to run spell check in Apple Writer on an Apple ][e.

Let's replace "hard disk" with "external storage". Shall we?
