Actually it was 640K in the alleged Bill Gates quote, although I do believe that quote has pretty much been debunked. It was allegedly stated in 1981, but there doesn't seem to be any evidence of it circulating prior to about 1992. Gates himself denies ever having said it, and maintains that he in fact held the opposite opinion. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
