     @ike I have no idea what you are talking about 😂

     I used floppy discs. Yes I am that old.

     They definitely did have gigabytes of memory spaxe

     @liztai Ok, just to be "funny" in a pedantic sort of way, I want to point out that, as stated, you claim to have about 5.25" of space for RAM in your brain.

     A typical high-density DIMM with 32GB of RAM has a volume of approximately 0.4 inches x 2.7 inches x 0.15 inches = 0.01575 cubic inches whereas that 5.25" floppy disk has about 5.5 cubic inches.

     So you effectively have about 11,168 GB of RAM in your brain.

     Sorry for being the neck beard to point this out.
