Exactly.

Many years ago I worked for a computer store. I remember people lining up to buy the 32mb chips that were going on sale for $699.00

I also remember my dad building computers back around 1991 or so. $1.00 per mb was a good price for a Western Digital drive.

I picked up another 2gb for my video puter today. It was under $200.

Unreal.
