Talk of memory always reminds me of the introduction of the Amstrad 386 Desktop. It made headlines in the computer press due to it having 4MB of memory, 1MB was the default in 386 offerings at the time with top end boxes having 2MB. The Amstrad cost £2,000 and there was a 16MB memory pack available which cost well over £1,200.
We are talking MB's here not GB's …. amazing how the price of memory has dropped over the years.
