Remember dial-up, chunky laptops, and the wild west of the internet? Well, in the early 2000s, I treated myself to a brand new iBook at the legendary Computertown in Boston, MA. But the base model came with a measly 32MB of RAM, barely enough to run Solitaire!
Determined to multitask like a champ (a.k.a. open more than two browser windows at once!), I ventured into the RAM upgrade jungle. The sticker shock? Upgrading to 96MB cost a whopping $250! That's like dropping $400 today for a memory boost.
Sure, it sounds crazy now, but back then, RAM was like digital gold. ✨ And let me tell you, that extra 64MB was like a rocket booster for my iBook. I could finally run Photoshop without lagging, write essays without tears, and even (gasp!) play the original Sims without sacrificing my sanity.
This little tech throwback got me thinking: how far we've come! From those hefty price tags to the insane storage capacities we have today, the evolution of technology is truly mind-blowing. What are some of your early tech memories that make you laugh (or cry) now? Share them in the comments below!
