Yikes. I am grateful for capitalism's effect on productivity. Can you believe how fast things change and improve and the price plumments in tech?

Random Access Memory for PCs has now reached the level of $11.74 per GIGABYTE!

I just got a flash from Amazon for 2x2 800 MHz Corsair high quality RAM for $46.99.

That's 4 gig for $46.  Astonishing.

In my life in computers, I once paid $500 to upgrad a mac 128K to 512K so it could be called a "Fat Mac!"   That's not gigs. It's not megs. It is from 128 Kilobytes to 512 kilobytes.

I'd post the Amazon link but god forbid you do anything around here that looks like advertising.

Oh by the way, if you want to see the OTHER spectacular version of memory, click here:

Manufactuers  over produced  Due  to the availability of "cheap credit " for supplies and labor during the first years of this century So there is a worldwide Glut in all semi conductor based storage devices debasing its prices
Now that this Cheap credit is no longer available so they have to try to salvage what profits they can at Fire sale prices until supply and demand fin Equilibrium

However anyone who lost all  his poser files etc. to an internal HD crash really has no excuse for not having backed  up considering the low prices  of storage these days.

Oh yes!! I paid about $3000 for the new "fast" Mac G3  in 1996
230  MhZ processor 6 gig HD and 32 MEGs of Ram

Unfortunately, there are people who can't afford the price, no matter how "cheap" it is.

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi

Very True with the constant decline in the purchasing power of the dollar
what's cheap for some may not be so for others
however see threads over at DAZ where people "confess" having spent
X $$thousands  hoarding content but make no real provisions for storage
space to back it up and often end up losing it when the inevitable happens.

Part of the cheapness is due to Moore's Law.  But I heard that was starting to slow down.

WARK!

Or perhaps demand  is just unrealisticly speeding up

“We’re looking at a brick wall five years down the road,” Eli Harari, the chief executive of SanDisk, said earlier this week.*

basically they are running into something called 'Electron Smearing'.
