640kb should be enough for anyone.

🤣 I don't even remember the days before mb, my first computer had a whole 32 mb of ram and and a 512 mb hard drive. Man, I suppose we shouldn't complain. 

My first computer was a TRS-80. It had 4K RAM on board. My father spent $300 on the Expansion Interface, which was the size of a VCR, increased the RAM to a whopping 16K, and doubled as a monitor stand. Also added some ports for printers and modems and such. And most games didn't utilize the RAM in the Expansion Interface. It ran off of 5/14 inch floppy disks and cassette tapes. The same cassette tapes you used in a Sony Walkman. You listed files on the tapes by how many minutes into the tape (using a mechanical counter on the tape recorder that had to be manually reset by punching a button) before the files started.
