> People were perfectly happy with 640k ram at the time that phrase was uttered.
replyI'm assuming this is a sarcastic response to the person who said "640K [RAM] ought to be enough for anybody!"
Because, as somebody who was around when we had 640 K RAM, people certainly weren't happy with that amount.
Ah, the hours spent tweaking CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT to run a MS-DOS game that squeezed every last byte of those 640K, good times.

replyRegardless of the time, people have always happily accepted more.
replyI’d argue most “people” haven’t actually needed more in a very long time other than to keep the same old software running. The requirements bloat of operating systems, browsers, and majority of software isn’t really a generalized “people” thing; more so the state of the industry being a form of inertial bloat.
replyThe phrase probably wasn't uttered by anyone it's attributed to: https://quoteinvestigator.com/2011/09/08/640k-enough/. Even "the time" is unknown.
