12,000,000,000 isn’t enough?
My first computer had 512,000 of memory, and was considered pretty good at
the time.
A year later I updated it to 1,024,000 memory, which was amazing. There
were magazine articles out at the time saying “here’s what to do with all
that memory.”
So, when my new designer came to me and told me that twelve thousand times
more wasn’t enough to open his files, I was a bit surprised.

But, we are dealing with files that are very large. Let’s face it, I’ve
got apps on my iPad that are bigger on their own than all the floppy disks
I owned in 1986 put together.
So, I doubled his memory and he tells me it is much better now.
That’s good, but I still boggle at how far computers have come in terms of
adding zeroes, but still run slow.

And, it looked like you got to see you wife and daughters this summer. So, that must have been nice.
Another year away is rough though. Especially with the girls so young.

No complaints on the Summer, just not as much fun coming home to an empty house now that they're back home.
