I can remember being very grateful when I got a second 4k bytes of
memory.  1968 or so.  It cost about $1500.  Shortly afterward a
CP/M machine with 62k of main memory was a very powerful beastie. 
About 2000 I was working with a PIC chip, which had a staggering
256 bytes of main memory available.  No expansion, although we
could build an i/o system to address a full 64k externally.  Just
fill the address register (2 bytes), then either read or write a
whole byte.  This ate up at least 3 of the basic 256 memory.
