WinErr 815: Insufficient Memory - Only 50,312,583 Bytes available.
It might've started as a DosErr list in 89, but a computer with >50MB of ram would've been a godly system back then. OTOH given the history of these sort of things I wouldn't've been surprised if it also has a "not enough gigahertz error" as well.
3x12=36 2x12=24 1x12=12 0x12=18
Back then, only 640k was usable - the rest was "extended".
.45 ACP - because shooting twice is just silly

heh - I was triggered by the same. The age of the list does not match the amount of memory in any way. (Unless they mixed up memory and disk space)
Personally, I love the idea that Raymond spends his nights posting bad regexs to mailing lists under the pseudonym of Jane Smith. He'd be like a super hero, only more nerdy and less useful. [Trevel]

I know you believe you understood what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize what you heard is not what I meant.

I once paid $250 for an 80MB drive (note the M) and couldn't believe what a great deal I had found. That's 80 MILLION bytes!! Of course the biggest program I had at the time was King's Quest V weighing in at 10MB or so.

This was my first “real” computer; also including 133 MHz Pentium and 4 Mb of video memory, later upgraded to 16 Mb Voodo 3Dfx because the Quake II emerged! :-D

I can believe it, the whole package for my computer was around $2,000 and it was refurbished, but did also come with a 17 inch monitor
Mine/see my previous response/ came with 14’’ monitor but it was bright new and for about $1200.

Nah. That is boring. All that needed fixing was the color scheme. :)

I got you beat by a mile - my first 20mb hard drive cost me $700 - and all my friends laughed at me for getting such a large drive.
