All this stuff is funny!!  My first computer was a Commodore 64.  I 
think it was named that because it had 64k of RAM.... Remember that one 
could be extended with a tape drive and or flappy.  I'm not sure if I 
had a flappy....

Around that time I went into a business that was using a Commodore 64.  
Maybe that is all we needed?

I do not recall the Gov regulating it because of all the power it had 
for that period.....

The next year I bought a garage clone that had a 8088 - 8 bit CPU and 
1MB of RAM of which 640k was addressable.  Yikes what a power hungry 
beast...
