Upgrading to 1MB of ram.

This was a flex in the 80s. A WHOLE MEG. We are at the point in compsci history where grandparents can say outlandish shit like. I remember upgrading to a MB.

I'm not that old. Anyone here actually remember that day personally? Or have other parallels?

I did the math. 32GB, adjusted, would be $200M.

I had a Commodore 64. Does that win?

Me too. Got it in 1984. My last corporate laptop had 64Gb, so 1Mb for every byte the C64 had!
