Children, children.... I remember when the world's most popular
/mainframe/ had 1,400, 2,000, or 4,000 characters of memory. (You could
expand it up to an absolute maximum of 16,000 characters, but more than
4,000 required an extra chassis, about the size of a washing machine.)
Mmm, my first programming job, we won the lottery, and got a brand
spanking new 4300 midframe about 9 mos. earlier than everyone else. I
want to say that it had 16M, but I could be wrong - it's been a year or
20+....
