“64k ought to be enough RAM for anybody.” Bill Gates 1981
The quote is a lie.
He never said that
Couple things: 1) He never said that 2) The myth is 640k, not 64k 3) At the time, it was enough for everybody…
I remember when 64k of RAM was the most amazing thing ever. … Fuck, I’m old. Not as old as the quote but…gah.
My fav quote of all time is “everything that CAN be invented, HAS been invented”
FAIL! FAIL! FAIL!
It was the head of Intel that said something to that effect, and it was Intel that set the limit of 1024k (which was further limited by system overhead). I’m not defending Bill Gates, just pointing out how major this fail is.
