Heh! Amazing how far we've come in such a short time. I remember when a 100 Mb drive was considered HUGE!

I remember paying over a hundred bucks for 4 megabytes of ram for my 486 with 66mhz. Damn that computer was fast, especially when you hit that turbo button.

I remember when my parents took me out to get our first family computer back in the late 80's. It was an Apple //c and I vividly remember the salesman bragging about how it had 128k of ram. I remember it so clearly that I can even quote him as saying, "You will NEVER need more than 128k ram"


Now that is funny!
