RAM Memory. I remember in 1995, I bought a four megabyte RAM memory DIMM chipset and it cost like $300.

Just yesterday, I bought a eight GIGIBYTE RAM memory card for $8.

My dad years ago said the first computer they had at Texaco had a 16 kilobyte storage ability and took an entire FLOOR in an office to house. It took thousands of dollars in '60's dollars just to keep it cool.

I remember a while ago, a professor of mine who would compare the computer chip advancement with a story. He'd say "if the auto industry had the same kind of advancement and growth the computer chip industry has had, then we'd all be driving Rolls Royce's, they'd be getting 1000 miles a gallon, and they'd cost a nickel."
