- About one year before I bought my A1000 with a whopping 512Kb of memory in
- it, I spend $9000 for a 68000 based UNIX system that had 756Kb of memory.
- Even the larger and more expensive systems I worked on at work had no more
- than about 8 Mb of memory. If you had written this then, you might have
- said:
