       is there anything more cyberpunk than having an odd number of megabytes of ram?

       @ersatzmaus not me, but someone on IRC said that their feature phone had 23 MB of ram. no idea how, but feature phones are weird, so I guess it could happen?

       @technomancy Nice. My 386sx-16, the first computer that was really "mine", came with 3MB of RAM, and was ultimately upgraded to 9...with 4 of it being on a very dodgy ISA expansion card. All in order to run OS/2 without thrashing.

       @technomancy My first thought: "I had that all the time" but I was thinking of non-powers of 2... 24MB, 96MB, 192 MB, 768 MB, ... :)

       @technomancy My first personally owned computer was a 20 MHz 386 with 5 MB of RAM - originally 1 MB until I added an extra pair of 2 MB modules. So I am, at last, cyberpunk. Excellent. I think.

       @technomancy Could be reporting 23 MiB of _usable_ RAM.
