Or another way to look at is economically.  Suppose in the future memory
system prices drop to 1 cent per megabyte.  Then 64 bits worth of physical
memory costs $160 billion.  Carrying it further, at .01 cents/megabyte it's
still $1.6 billion.

Forget your children's college tuition costs.  Start saving now for the
memories of the future!
