Keeping in mind that in 1981 640k was a humungous amout of RAM...even 128k
was on the high side in those days. I worked at a computer company at the
time...as I recall our video cards had 2k, or if you wanted the high end
one, 4k. 20M of hard drive space on a -server- was considered so big no
one would ever fill it.
