minus-squareHarriPotero@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-26 months agoI got my first phone in 1998. It was a nokia 8110, aka the ‘banana phone’. I got my first computer in 1989. It was a Commodore VIC-20. I still have it. 5kB of RAM should be enough for everyone.

That’s when minimum wage was $3.35 an hour. So you’d have to work for 20 minutes to afford one minute of talk time if you were a minimum wage worker.
