No one. The number cited was 64KB :-)
Actually, it was 640K. Prior to the IBM PC, 8 bit computers were generally limited to 64k. The PC could access 640K at that time, which was 10x what the 8 bit systems were capable of. Incidentally, that first PC came with all of 16K bytes in the base system. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
