    Right now, more than 15 billion miles from Earth, a 48-year-old spacecraft is hurtling through interstellar space at 38,000 miles per hour.

      In 1977 69 KB was huge memory. First home PC's from 1980 and 1981 like ZX81 they have 1 KB of memory. One.

        The Commodore 64 came out in 1982 and famously had 64KB of memory.

            20KB of ROM and 5KB of RAM, though that was expandable!

              5KB of RAM

              TIL! I've been living a lie for decades thinking the 20 in VIC-20 was the amount of RAM like the 64 in C64 meant the amount of RAM. I only owned the C64, never a VIC-20.
