One of the earliest mistakes that Bill Gates made was he assumed that $640k of ram would be plenty and would be more than anybody would ever need..

And so what did they do they made some monkey ass memory manager that was a workaround it was like putting a Band-Aid on the problem instead of going back and just completely solving the problem and writing software that looks at an unlimited amount of memory is though it's one continuous stream of memory here I don't know the exact details but they didn't fix the problem instead they patched it.

Pretty soon after you put so many patches so many Band-Aids on something it's like repairing things using duct tape it only works for a little bit and then it starts looking real funky and then the tape gets rained on and the whole thing falls apart.

Fk Bill Gates if he wasn't banging trannies his wife wouldn't have left him and he'd have more time to take care of his software problems

$640k of ram

That's a lot of RAM.

May want to set that computer on a concrete pad.

My first computer was an Atari 800 and it had something like 64k of RAM and I would write basic programs in it and machine language assembler programs and it was really quite enough and then I upgraded the memory on my Atari to 128k of RAM I had to go to an Electronics guy who custom Jimmy rigged it into it and it was really nice I could make a ram disc
