Speaking of insanely high RAM prices, I just came across receipts for a PC I built in 1992. So 26 years ago, I paid $495 for 4MB. Yup, that's MB, not GB.

Admittedly these were AUD rather than USD. So maybe halve that for the USD cost.

When we complain about how expensive memory and compute, a slightly longer term view shows it's still pretty good value!

You realize that it's not about compared to 25 years ago though, right? When I looked at the beginning of this year, the same RAM size and speed was about twice as expensive as it was two years ago.
