How much RAM do you have on your machine?

    I'm thinking of getting another gig.

    lol... dude, I think you need to enter a RAM 12 Step program.

    Half the battle is admitting that you have a problem.

    My Commodore VIC-20 has less than 4KB of available RAM when I fire it up... "3583 bytes free" :)

    I used to have Commodore 64 (64K RAM). Is this VIC thing an older model?

    I remeber I could play some really cool games on it.

    Now you can't write a few freakin' pages of text in MS Word without going over that amount. Who cares about memory-efficient programming these days?

    Yeah, the VIC-20 is the 64's predecessor. Back in the day I was pretty cool since I had a huge 8KB expansion cartridge I could plug into the back!

    Good point. Unfortunately it's simply not cost-effective for software developers to spend lots of time optimizing code. It's not a *necessity* any more.

    Wow, 8KB extention!!!

    Plus, it may be some sort of conspiracy inspired by hardware-producers :-).

    Man... I'm getting old. Guys used to sit around talking about how many horses they had under the hood, and how much the new headers were going to cost...

    There's no way I could possibly beat you because (1) I don't have one of my own; I use the ones at school and (2) the computers that I work on in the labs get sabotaged so there's no tellin' how much memory I have.
