[ale] [OT] win9x jam -- blood pressure check

[Richard Bronosky]

In 199[567] I built a machine for a rich Photoshop enthusiast friend
that had 4 sticks of 256MB RAM. I was running Photoshop on ~16MB at
the time. I decapitate (slung a head off the arm of) at least 3 drives
in 2 years due to the swapping. I couldn't convince my employer that
it would be cheaper to give me more RAM.
