Just an aside ...

I happened to be considering buying extra memory for my HP-48SX and my
NeXT at the same time.  128K bytes for the HP costs only a little less
than 4M bytes for the NeXT (about $200 mail order vs. $236 mail order).
I realize that the 4 meg won't run off of a battery for a year, but then
the 128K doesn't have a 100 nS access time either.  Even though it's a
little like apples and oranges, I find the $/bit ratio interesting.
