- GreenLynx, on 10/26/2009, -1/+276That's about what the RIAA charges.
- heartsNbubbles, on 10/26/2009, -9/+207That's like 2 euros.
- vsujohn2, on 10/25/2009, -3/+199In the future we'll look at ads like http://www.netaffilia.com/images/2009/08/21/266052 ...
.....and laugh. - cruik, on 10/26/2009, -2/+171So 1gb of ram would have cost $20 million.
- inactive, on 10/26/2009, -1/+135You guys are all laughing...but that is pretty much what it costs to send text messages these days.
- the8thbit, on 10/26/2009, -2/+134My 4GB of RAM would only cost $85,899,345, without taking inflation into account.
What a deal. - BREZZZ, on 10/26/2009, -1/+118Great, my dream rig is almost complete.

- sagegoku666, on 10/26/2009, -0/+68oh snap!
- SpazAttack5000, on 10/26/2009, -6/+70This comment.
- Rouglead, on 10/26/2009, -23/+856gb are you kidding me? My phone has more memory! HAHAHA How did we even land on mars?
- CaviMike, on 10/26/2009, -1/+63Older than the internet.
- GTRagnarok, on 10/26/2009, -1/+61Using 6GB DDR3 @ $130 and assuming 1GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes, I get ~923,000 bytes per 2 cents!
- aphexcoil, on 10/26/2009, -0/+53And another $200,000 an hour to power it.
- inactive, on 10/26/2009, -0/+52Right because he's not pretending to act like someone in the future, he actually thinks it's a laughable amount of memory now.
- beabis, on 10/26/2009, -1/+52People love to mock those old static memories, but I've been around a while and I can tell you that they gave data warmth and character. Today's DDR3's certainly work well but they just leave the bytes so cold and harsh.
- OmNomNomBACON, on 10/26/2009, -4/+53Here I am!

- bodegit, on 10/26/2009, -6/+5112GB of RAM... nevermind.
- Wakkyweed, on 10/26/2009, -0/+3516k of RAM (some assembly required), $349.
What a bargain! - RAAFStupot, on 10/26/2009, -0/+33Is there anything in human history that has depreciated faster than computer memory?
- captininsanity, on 10/26/2009, -0/+32That's what AT&T charges to send "LOL!!" when you've run out of text messages for the month
- linagee, on 10/26/2009, -0/+29requires $500 installation kit. lol.
- scy1192, on 10/26/2009, -0/+28You still have a phone? Those are archaic, man. Upgrade to a cochlear implant.
- BossKey, on 10/26/2009, -1/+28Internet memes
- inactive, on 10/26/2009, -1/+27The same issue had an ad for Apple charging THREE cents a byte.
- TabDelineated, on 10/26/2009, -0/+26but in the future $189 for 12GB will be just as laughable as $650 for 32KB.
incedentally, the above ad is about 1.5c a megabyte. - SaxxonPike, on 10/26/2009, -0/+26$640,000 is more than enough for me.
- Ghostwo, on 10/26/2009, -3/+27Remember back when movies used to be 4Gb? That's smaller than a web page!!!
- pw378, on 10/26/2009, -0/+22Actually, no.
ARPANET was alive and kicking when this ad came out. - IKORKYI, on 10/26/2009, -1/+23oh back when you could assemble your own ram...the memories...
- sageerrant, on 10/26/2009, -2/+23Bacon is mandatory.
- BlackJackJester, on 10/26/2009, -0/+20ahhh, now I know where Time-Warner got their metered use prices.
- jwolcott, on 10/26/2009, -1/+20I have come from the future (2079 to be exact) where we measure memory in Yotta's with memory costing $2,193,253 per byte. Adjusted for the hyperinflation we experienced during President Palin's years, that comes to about 2.8 x 10^-23 cents from 2009. Gasp not at the Palin years for she was only elected after 8 years of Obama, 4 years of Arnold Schwarzenegger, 8 years of Chelsea Clinton, and 8 years of John McCain (who thanks to Obama's Universal Health Care act lived until well into his 120's).
P.S. Invest in a relatively small company called "Google" for they take over after the Palin years. - iatethecake, on 10/26/2009, -0/+19awesome
- robertisaar, on 10/26/2009, -1/+20quality of life in certain countries?
- nmoulana, on 10/26/2009, -0/+17god the world was a dark place back then.
- inactive, on 10/26/2009, -2/+19I think he meant 640k at that time should be enough for anyone.
- shauben2007, on 10/26/2009, -2/+19Thanks for the Digg.
The rest of my vintage computing ads/images can be seen @ http://bit.ly/1R3hvX - iopasd, on 10/26/2009, -0/+16Good times, I remember the first 1 GB hd I saw on sale. $999.99. I remember thinking, damn, only $1 per meg.
- one1plus1one, on 10/26/2009, -1/+16$20 Million just for 1gb?!
Let's put that into terms I can understand.
Let me see here... 20 million dollars... why, that could buy you 200,000 call-girls, all getting naked simultaneously, for 1 hour?
Holy Sh-t that was damned expensive memory. - sageerrant, on 10/26/2009, -1/+15Now pay up.
- gbhall, on 10/26/2009, -1/+15Wow, that's not a bad price at all.
- iatethecake, on 10/26/2009, -0/+13What does 2 cents get you nowadays?
- Darrelc, on 10/26/2009, -1/+13No, he didn't
- perfunction, on 10/26/2009, -0/+12Lindsay Lohan
- jonvdveen, on 10/26/2009, -2/+13For another $20 million, you could get 1 GB of storage (at $.02/byte).
- ziplizard, on 10/26/2009, -0/+11It's ads like that that make me want to time travel to the past with my current rig, sell it, invest in Microsoft and Apple, come back to the future, and never work again. It's a perfect plan once I can get some more plutonium for my car.
- defteats, on 10/26/2009, -1/+11That bread looks delicious. Bread makes the sandwich.
- nighthawk8713, on 10/26/2009, -2/+12Oh yeah...My 1/0 gigs of RAM would cost me... :OH SHI--:
