I remember paying $640 for an add-on memory board of 640K. (or was it 64K? which would make it $10,000 per megabyte)
In the early-70s I was a programmer on the Burger King point of sale system
which was a 4K (12 bit words) DEC PDP8M. If I recall, a single memory board
was $5000. The system was replaced with an 8080 based system.
