I’m so old I remember people so old they would try to extend the life of their pc by replacing the 5 inch disk slot with a 3.5. Then later insist on replacing the 3.5 inch reader with one that could read both sides of the disk.
Reminds me of even worse users who wanted Zip drives on systems with no connection on the bus for such a cumbersome beast. No one could make them understand that editing documents on a Zip drive was dangerous. Back then you needed to work from a hard disk and save to the zip drive.
These same people did not trust the faster safer space I had created on the network servers for them. Spent a fortune upgrading to bidirectional 100mbps from 10mg 3coms. Only to rip all that out for 10gig backbones and gig to the systems. Elaborate testing for providing wireless networks….
Kept me working I guess

In college one of the rich kids upgraded their 286 PC with a whopping 200 mb hard drive - the hoops he had a go through to get that working... Everyone else worked off their dual 5 1/4" drives!

I remember when and could feel the difference when IDE went from 5000rpm to 7200rpm. We had Pentium chips by then. The 586 chips came with bus and memory speed that was faster than the disks again. SATA was next...
