@eniko No one could ever possibly need more than 640KB!*

*It turns out no one actually said that, but it's still a meme anyway.

@nazokiyoubinbou @eniko "640 K ought to be enough for anybody." — Bill Gates, allegedly

"I've said some stupid things and some wrong things, but not that. No one involved in computers would ever say that a certain amount of memory is enough for all time ... I keep bumping into that silly quotation attributed to me that says 640 K of memory is enough. There's never a citation; the quotation just floats like a rumor, repeated again and again." — Bill Gates, 1996

@kawa @eniko Yeah, lol, I saw that too.

It really does make sense that he wouldn't have said it. I honestly believe him. And, as is pointed out there, there is no actual specific citation of him saying it in a specific place.

But you know, I bet someone, somewhere, was stupid enough to think it. Probably in the days where 64K seemed like a lot. "What about someday years from now when there's ten times that?" "Huh? Who could ever use that much?" 😁

@nazokiyoubinbou @eniko Yeah that sounds feasible.

"Do you realize the pain the industry went through while the IBM PC was limited to 640 K? The machine was going to be 512 K at one point, and we kept pushing it up. I never said that statement — I said the opposite of that." — Bill Gates, 2014
