A gigabyte is 1024 megabytes. Five gigabytes is about 600 times as large as 8 megabytes.

My first electronic computer had 64 bytes of memory. The first IBM PC used 160 kilobyte diskettes, and had 256 kilobytes of ram. A computer with 5 gigabytes of memory would be have about 2.5 million times as much RAM as that PC, and 10.4 billion times as much memory as my first computer.

Steve Wozniak, who built the first Apple computer (Steve Jobs was just a software guy and a salesman), said it would have been an abject failure except that the price of a "2002" memory chip dropped in price precipitously. He asserted a law that "Sooner or later, every computer chip drops in price to $2.50." If you adjust for the larger size of today's chips, and adjust for inflation, his law is still true 37 years later.

How do you find out if your husband had life insurance?

Try the below ideas. Good Luck 1. If you have access to their personal records, go through old bank statements or canceled checks to see if they paid any insurance companies. 2. Did they have a personal lawyer or accountant who may have known about any old policies? 3. Talk with a past employer about any group life insurance policy that may have existed. 4. Get in touch with the Medical Information Bureau. They track all requested medical records by insurance companies for the past 7 years. So, if they took out the policy during this time period, most likely the MIB will know about it. You can find more information about them online. 5. Look at the mail that continues to be delivered after the person's death. If it was a policy that was still being paid for, you'll see premium notices. 6. Look at income tax returns to see if interest dividends on any life policy were claimed. There is no time limit on claiming the benefits of any missing life insurance policy that you are the beneficiary of. It can be 25 years later and the company will still pay you the proceeds.
