Is this just a sneaky way of identifying the old fogies here?

The first computer I got to lay hands on was an Apple II (48K RAM, 1MHz 6502 processor, monochrome green monitor).  Several years later, when they first announced an external hard drive option, I remember wondering what in the world anyone would need 20 MB of hard drive space for...

It might be a way of id'ing us old fogies.  Who remembers "pip", what it did, and what the letters stood for?
