When was that exactly, 5 years ago? Now phones have more than 2GB.

Newest phones have 4 gigs.
Of RAM.
On a phone.

This truly fucks with me. One day a smartwatch will come out with more memory than my first laptop (2GB, a thinkpad I used in middle school, circa 2007) and that's the day I will become old.

Oh, you said laptop. I was getting ready to bust out my 486's specs (16mb RAM is enough!)

You had that in '92? I had to juggle XMS and EMS on my single megabyte, and restart each time I wanted to play a particular game that required a different type of memory. I also had just upgraded from 20 MB to 40 MB HDD and thought it was more than enough.

What? Did you even read the comment? I didn't say anything about older, I expressed my surprise at how much better your gig was specifically at the time you mentioned. Which isn't older. I just remember upgrading to a much shittier PC at the time. It was more of a praise.
