    I remember my dad paying $800 for 8 megabytes of RAM.

    Shit was expensive back then

      8 megabytes? I remember upgrading my Apple IIe with a 64k expansion card which allowed for 80 columns of text characters.

      It was at least $125.

      I was quoted £450 for 16MB in 1993. Approximately double that now with inflation. I was a 15 year old with a part time paper route, no way I’d ever afford that!
