A few years before he said that I was system administrator
on a Tandy 16b Xenix system with 512k and 5 terminals and
6 simultaneious users and we thought this was a real

The first mainframe I worked on was an RCA Spectra 70 with
85k ram and we thought it was a giant.  In fact it filled
a very large room.
