    640K actually, which is still a technical limitation, although nowadays
    easily circumvented.

    64K....IBM PC came with 64K, all you'll ever need. I think DOS (oh, oh,
    we're not supposed to call WinXP DOS any more) still runs in 64K pages....

    I paid big money for a 256K expansion card for my Compaq XT luggable that
    looked like a sewing machine. I found a receipt from "Crazy Bob's Computer
    Warehouse" in Atlanta for a 33MB (not GB, MB) Tulin, full height hard
    drive, the biggest one available at that date. I paid $1995.00 plus
    shipping!

    Memory and storage have gotten lots cheaper since the "good ol' days" of
    computing.....(c;

    64K was a great step up from my 4K S-100 bus machine, however....BASIC ate
    most of it, though.
