2 days ago I was burning a CD when someone needed me to copy something to a
floppy for them, the floppy wasn't formatted so I hit format then realizing
what I had just done without thinking I started laughing. When he asked me
what was so funny I said "I have a one gig memory stick on my
keychain" he had no idea what I was talking about and gave me this
"you're nuts" look but all I could think was that NT will never
be a desktop OS because it requires 16mb.

That was what, 1995 when 4mb is our mantra was the big promise? I wonder
what desktops will be like 9 years from now?
