>Amazing what you get used to. I remember shelling out $1,500 on 32MB (yes, megabytes) of RAM for a computer to run NT 3.51. At that time the mightiest workstations had around 512MB, a gig or more was unfathomable.

Can top that: 8MB of RAM first used with OS/2 in text mode, then as Dos/extended, because EMS was a cripple -
and that machine was a full 32 bit 386 going for 14000 DM, probably ~6000$ in the eighties.

Before that 4MB to be directly adressed on 68000, but much cheaper as it was an Atari ~ 1000$

Terra incognita everywhere, as I had to write more than half of the RAM overlaying DB functionality myself
