In the same world 8GB used to be unfathomably huge not that long ago?

Hell, an 8GB hard drive was unfathomable when I was a kid in the 90s. I remember getting a 30 megabyte drive for our Mac LC.

The same world where a MacBook Pro G4 12" came base level with 256MB of RAM.

The same world where a classic Mac came with 128KB of RAM.

We might someday live in a world where entry-level is 256TB of RAM.

That is the timeline I want to live in. Probably.

A world where Apple has invested in their own fabs, so they can sell devices with drastically more RAM than their competition at entry-level prices.
