Yeah, I had 3.5 KB on my VIC-20. What would I do with a 200 KB file??

Except that 200KB files were much more rare at that time.

These were like $70US in the early 80s. So that users could dl a 200kb file in only about 3 hours.

My uncle's friend gave this to me in the mid-1980s so I could call into local BBS's. He told me it was under one condition:  I could not sell it. If I wanted to get rid of it, I was supposed to give it back to him. 

Sadly, he died several years ago.
