11 years ago. May very well have been less. Apples still probably charging more than that to go from 8 to 16 and I had to buy all 8 and replace both DIMMS.

My 2009 Mac mini had 8gb of RAM. And it wasn't even very expensive to do so when I did it in ~2013. Couple hundred bucks max.
If only I could get this much storage on my Mac.
I wanted to make a Plan9 joke, didn't even realize that there were new iterations, cool.
I'm only in if it comes with a Clippy skin.
So at normal listening volumes no one can hear, but it sounds like normal listening volumes aren't good enough for a plane?
I've been giving these more and more of a thought lately. I like the idea that you can just leave them on and not worry about taking them out to hear things.
Only question. Can people near you hear them at all? Like on a plane?

Not to mention you had to type the whole freaking program in line by line from a book where the program was written out over 10 pages, then wait 2 hours for it to load from tape and if you made a single mistake you had to type the whole damn thing in again.
At least we have some proper old man stories we have to tell our kids about how hard we had it.
Close. First tape experience was a TRS-80. Later moved on to DATs on various Unix boxes, AIX, Solaris, Linux. I did own an Amiga but it had a 3.5" disk and even a 20mb hdd! During the c64 era I was on Apple II, also floppies.
Yes though the failure rate of actually trying to read it later when you need it is quite high in my experience.
Did they add it back? That's good. But SD cards aren't really replacements for primary disks. It's silly that you can't get your primary disk as big as an SD card.
