Thank you for explicitly pointing out how much* we owe to declining memory prices: > ...a more capable 16-bit microprocessor able to access a whole 1 MB of memory space. (This was largely a theoretical ability. At 1978 prices, that would be about $28,000, about $135,000 today.) * for ill as well as for good?
