    I once bought 16MB of RAM for my private machine for the equivalent of about 1200 us dollars. This machine had then more RAM than all the servers in the company I worked for together…

      I can remember buying a 380mb hard drive for about £400. Never did manage to fill it up either.

        Pretty sure he meant MB.

        Back in the day computer parts were super expensive.

        I once bought 4MB of memory for around $300, which would be around $900 dollar in today’s money. Before it became a mass-consumer product and economies of scale kicked in, having your own computer was a huge investment. It was more of a business thing back then, with prices higher than today still.
