I would have been quite happy with 64k in 1981. My computer only had 16K, and then 32K when I piggybacked another row onto the first row. That PC operated at about 60 thousand operations per second, woohoo! My current PC is about ten thousand times faster and cost about the same.

The DOS limit of 640k was derived from this 64k model -- make the limit 10x bigger (and that of the CP/M OS) and you are pretty much set forever. <g>
