The amount of hardware driving this is huge....

2) In 2010 I bought a 16Gigabyte machine
You young whipper-snapper!

In MY day, they gave us an “enormous” 64 KILObytes of memory and we said, “Thank you, sir”. ;-)


Sorry. Got you beat.

My first computer (Altair 8800) had a 256 byte (yes, byte!) board. I thought I was in hog heaven when I finally built a 1K board.
