- It's pretty amazing how fast things change. Back when the Lisa
- was introduced, everyone was running machines with 64-256K of
- RAM. One megabyte was a big deal then. Now, 16MB is common
- place. Let's see, my Radius Rocket can support up to 128MB of
- RAM and Fujitsu just introduced 256Mb RAM chips. Sounds a lot
- like the 1980s only our standards have increased roughly by an
- order of magnitude.
