Actually, my first computer had 64K of RAM. The salesperson who sold me
my second computer assured me that it was the last computer I would
ever have to buy - because in the entire remainder of my lifetime I
would never be able to fill its massive 5 MB hard disk.

I come late to Linux, but not to computers. And I am even later at
computer science, since I still know little of it. We learn what is
important to us to learn. What is important varies from person to
person.
