glen, i've been a computer nerd since about 1984, when my parents bought a TI computer with 64K of memory.

Hey I bought a Commodore Vic 16 new. I knew 16K was not enough so I bought the 16K expansion card and had 32K of RAM. That expansion card would get HOT ater a few hours. I had a cassette tape drive to load and store programs. When the massive powerful Commodore 64 came out I jumped on that bad boy. I paid 600 bucks for a floppy drive and 300 baud manual dial modem and got on Compuserve. Just text on a black background but I could connect to the world and ordered a pair of jeans. I got my first Compuserve bill and almost fainted. They charged by the minute and everything is SLOW at 300 Baud.
I even published two editions of the War Whoop our local PCA newsletter with that C-64 connected to a typewriter. I had to solder together the connections but it worked great, slow as heck but great.
Now I have a computer that has 32 Gigs of ram. From 16K to 64 Gigs is a few orders of magnitude.
