I remember the stories my father told me of his early dev days… “so the mainframe we wrote the whole national social security system for had 8K of RAM”.
Just a few more billions guys, real close now! Maybe a few dozen more after that, but it’s really getting there!
Oh, look a squirrel!

Linux@lemmy.ml•What are the best reasons people have given you for not wanting to try Linux?English
