a move from 64k to 640k felt like something that would last a great deal of time.
I seem to recall someone* is supposed to have said that no one would ever need more than 640K of RAM. There are an awful lot of posters here using the same kind of arguments.
Here's a hint for those posters. History has consistently shown such prognostications to be flat wrong.
*Bill Gates is supposed to have said this. His response this meme is "I've said some stupid things and some wrong things, but not that. No one involved in computers would ever say that a certain amount of memory is enough for all time."

I love it when people tell you things in a way that makes to clear that they think they know some super secret thing that only they've ever heard of, instead of repeating super duper common knowledge. Hilarious!
