I remember a 5MB quota at uni when I was an undergrad,
and I definitely
remember when it was increased to 10MB :)
Light your cigar with disk blocks!
When I was in high school, I had an account on the school's computer, a
PDP-11/20 running RSTS, with a single RF11 disk (well, technically, an RS11
drive on an RF11 controller). For those whose jaw didn't bounce off the floor,
reading that, the RS11 was a fixed-head disk with a total capacity of 512KB
(1024 512-byte blocks).
IIRC, my disk quota was 5 blocks. :-)

Hopkins had a 11/45 system with several RK05's (2.4M). One was / and /usr,
one was /sys1 (one set of users) and the other /sys2 (the other users).
My initial quota for class was 8 blocks and that went up to 30 when I went
on staff there.
We also had two additional RK05 drives and I thought I was in fat city when
I invested $65 in my own cartridge for that.
Before that, I had spent a few bucks on DecTapes.
The system swapped on an RF11 disk (1024 blocks).
