I am tickled that OOM can mean "out of memory" in another context. You clearly meant "orders of magnitude".

Heh, unintentional. Another term shorter than spelling out "orders of magnitude" is "decades", but I figure that's less familiar and even more confusing here. "Memory price started out falling two decades per decade..."

Well if you underestimate your memory requirements by orders of magnitude you'll be out of memory for sure.
