back then, computers were the size of fridges.
just think what NASA has in the works now considering how far technology has progressed in the past four decades.
edit: then again, the USA's budget crisis might put NASA on the backburner....

So of course function > design
if they can run their things with 1MB of ram, then why would they over kill it with 2MB? Quote:
