    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.

      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

                                    I bought an Amiga 500, I got a 20 MB drive, and I wondered how I could ever fill it.

                                      This is a list from 1989... I doubt if many of the younger people here even knoiw what DesqView is/was.

                                      DesqView and DesqViewX were actually way ahead of Windoze at the time in terms of multitasking. They provided pre-emptive multitasking (as opposed to cooperative multitasking in Windows). I worked for Quarterdeck for a few years and used them a lot (including QEMM, remember?). Good times...

                                        I owned DesqViewX, used it to do X programming at home, in the late 80's, IIRC. It did do pre-emptive multitasking. Windows did preventative multitasking.

                                          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.
