Kilobytes not Megabytes back when.
But they do not want to read you or have you talk except to your computer in the future.

Everyone is being replaced by a talking computer.

 
Of course someone probably will buy it and try to even have sax with it.
 Computer - computer - I want a soft synth.
Computer says "Sax"!
 

I still remember programming games like Worm Wars in 4K of memory...

When I started in the computer business, an 8 MB board cost $16,000. Yes, that's an "M", not a "B".

not a "B"????
 
 
what's a "BB" in terms of computer memory????

This is what happens when you don't place your hands on the home row before typing, while watching a video on the other display. You don't think I actually pay any attention to what I type in the CH, do you?

I've noticed that the RAM prices have actually gone up since I built my rig back in June of 2013.
I bought 2x8Gb sticks for $129 and now they're $166 HERE and a bit more HERE.
...

The USA Today proudly stated this weekend that PC sales improved. If that's the case, the price of RAM went up, hard drives doubled, video cards picked up $50 dollars, sound cards picked up $50 dollars, and the new USB plug just went up to $35 dollars! Ohhh, that same Dell monitor just showed up on the Dell costing $45 dollars more!
 
What do you expect? This is America!

The law of supply and demand works everywhere.

Especially with tax breaks and unfair competition. If you make rules to prevent it it's deemed anticompetative. Rock on globalisation!

We need some globalization! The problem is that big cities like NY, LA, London, Paris, Rome and Tokyo, don't want it ... why? Because they are the ones that will lose "profits", while everyone else stands to win more.
 
In the end, the disparity is about hugeness against smallness. Working for a cable company, one of the things that you learn real quick is how $20 is so meaningless in NY, but $20 in Medford is almost 3 hours of work for a kid ... how the heck do you expect people to get HBO? And those small towns helping pay for those big numbers is a drain to the rest of America!

What do you mean we are already 80% plus globalized. Small business are screwed paying taxes large corps don't have to pay and most people are on slave wages. Don't want it? We already have it in Europe and yes the US is screwed as well.

Cable companies and telephone companies monopolies everywhere. Star Bucks and massive budget chains everywhere which nobody can compete with on a small level. Massive supermarket stores everywhere. Low wages high taxes. Pilots flying who have to claim food stamps... Oh a great success...

Opps I didn't get the joke I assume :)
