'640K of memory should be enough for anybody.'

Given the costs of memory at the time the statement was made, the whole idea of buying more than 640k was ludicrous.

An upgrade from 64k to 128k was extremely expensive in the early 1980s. While I don't recall the exact numbers, I'm fairly sure that such an upgrade would have easily cost hundreds of dollars.
