I spent years gaming on 8gb. Sure I could barely open bg3 but do I really need my 32 now?

True story. I remember back in the bad old days when Firefox had notorious memory leaks, so when building my latest PC, I put in 32GB. The monitor app on my desktop has only ever topped out at showing 30% of memory allocated.
Floppinux anyone?
Long time ago I had a 3.5" HD floppy disk Linux with graphical user interface and ethernet and some programs on it. But 64 bit and the increased kernel size probably make this difficult nowadays.

Ram disks!!
When I think back to when I marveled that one of our office's 8Gb nightly backup tapes fit in my shirt pocket - EIGHT GIGABYTES - in my POCKET!!!...

Look at all that room to get stuff done.
% free -h
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 125Gi 15Gi 90Gi 523Mi 22Gi 110Gi
Swap: 63Gi 0B 63Gi
I'll use it eventually. Just gotta let the disk cache warm up.
