I guese you could say my first was a ti57 with 50 steps and/or 20
varilables (give or take) that could be repartioned, so thats maybe ,
maybe, a few hundreds bytes.  

The Synclair zx81 came with a full whole 1 k. took me a while to fill that
then I got the 16k expansion pack that wobbled off from time to time. 16 k
was like the roomiest a the time. 

Now I get twitchy if I have to use a machine with less than a half gig of
ram:)-

Moores law....more like Voidmasters Law.
