and you probably used MS-DOS or some UNIX or something without a GUI; you wouldn't have needed more RAM.

Think older. It's 1 KiB. Think carefully about how much you can put in there.

But man, GW. What are you, like 50? The Apple I from 1976 came with 4 KiB standard. Though you could be using a broader definition of "computer".

Business concerns trump technical issues.

Hmm... I do not agree with this in all situations. In fact, I am not sure how those two questions are different.

For example, google had a very good technical concern "at the expense of business concerns". Initially, google's dedication to speed and technical performance was considered impractical from a business standpoint (too high cost for "only 20% improvement" according to "Google documentary"). That is why the initiators of google couldn't sell their project to any of the big corporations back in 1998. This is how they started their project independently.

40 isn't that old. My parents are in their early 50s.
