The four, One(1)'MEG' RAM Chips I bought in '89 to (sorta) run graphics on my Mac II were $999 EACH. Today One 'Gig' RAM costs about $20. I think that's about 50,000 times cheaper.
The numbers are ridiculous.
If you don't like today's prices, wait a couple of months. Turns out Steven Wright may be wrong. Soon you can have everything because there will be a place to put it.

I don't think it would make any difference. Flash memory is great but its pricing over the YEARS has always made it a premium product. It's ironic that dinosaur tech (hard drives) with all those spinning platters and moving arms are still orders of magnitude cheaper and higher capacity than flash memory.

It's kind of sad, because HDDs annoy me. But I'm still going to keep buying them, because I can fill up terabytes of space shockingly quickly. It's amazing to me that only ten years ago I had a 1.2 gig harddrive, and it wasn't full. Heh.
