Still have some accounts tied to Netscape email addresses. I think they gave them out free during the Hotmail days. Most of those addresses are for accounts for the couple websites from those days that are still around. eBay, etc.

I've always went way over on RAM, for the most part. 32, 64, then 128GB of memory. Never really used it all, usually only about 40%, but it's one of those better to have than not need, and better than selling and re-buying a large
