The year is 1982. Nobody has ever heard of anything larger than a kilobyte. Floppy discs are being traded like passports in back alleys. The sneakernet is alive. If you are a basic bitch you are running a com 64 or a sinclair running BASIC. But if you are a true hacksor you are running fortran or forth.

Only in that computers were still long from becoming a household appliance. So most people didn’t never even hear of the word “kilobyte.”

The C64 was released in 1982. Its main selling point was that it had 64 kilobytes of RAM at a price way below its competitors.
This strategy was so succesfull that Commodore had to manufacture C64 machines long after it became unprofitable.

The 1977 Apple II had 16K to 48K of RAM.
IBM mainframes ran on 20k to 256K.
CP/M PCs had around 32k.
In 1982 I was using a TRS-80 Color Computer with 16K of RAM and Extended Color Basic. Over the years compilers for other languages were released for the CoCo but they were insanely expensive. Usually several times the cost of the computer itself.
