alt Hacker NewsBack in the day when 1mb memory sticks ruled the earth there was apparently a memory shortage because some fab burned down or something. Any day now, they’ll fix their shit and ram will be dirt cheap. At least according to my high school buddy.
We have always had a ram shortage. We’ve also always been at war with eastasia.
I remember my first 64MB sticks doubled in price after I bought them, I was envied for like 6 months among my friends with their 32MB machines.
