Even Steve Jobs used a 512K in his demo of the original Macintosh. That's how little you could do with 128K of memory.

This doesn't even make any sense. To what are you referring? Steve did a lot of stuff during that

What doesn't make sense? You seem to understand what I said. What Steve Jobs showed at the Shareholders meeting is not what was sold to customers. Period. In fact the 512k wasn't even available until 9 months later. I'm not bashing 128k, if anything I'm justifying why the Mac in the auction that started this thread would have been upgraded in the first place.

You're correct. I was 5 in 1984. My first Mac was a IIsi, which I received in January 1995, which paled in comparison to the new PowerMacs that Apple was selling... Which is actually similar to your PM 6500/MacBook comparison. The oldest Mac I currently own is a 512ke, so I have a pretty good idea what you can and cannot do with a 128k.
