Being at the bar is a good defence for any slip of knowledge

Oh yes, I agree. It's a good defense for many a slips. Good reason also to go to the bar often

The bar is the negation of computer knowledge. Many times I have tried to explain the wonders of USB 2.0 to a girl at the bar and gone home emptyhanded!

Computer knowledge and bars are like Yin and Yang. They complement eachother but exist in different realms.

Coming from someone who's a bit anal about computer terminologies, there's nothing wrong with calling the hard drive "memory". It's only recent convention that has volatile memory (RAM, etc) referred to as "memory" while non-volatile memory (hard drive, CD, tape, etc) is referred to as "storage".

By the way, 64-bit Windows versions can handle 160GB of RAM. Theoretically, 64-bit operating systems should be able to handle 16 exabytes of RAM, assuming my calculations are correct.
