They both emphatically said 'Never'. One MB was more than enough. Their view was essentially an anti-corporation rant. They believed that all the bluster about computers was just advertising, designed to make people spend money. Bill Gates was an ebil capitalist, etc.

Anyhoo, regarding website size, apparently the average size of UK websites was 25 MB back in 2008 for the ‘domain harvesting model’, and 180 MB for the permission-based harvesting’ model, and that doesn’t include the non - .UK domain names.

Over the last few years the average webpage file size has been growing quickly, and with technology constantly being improved, I think very large websites will be common soon enough.
