going back in time and telling baby!Alice that one day, she'll be able to go online and order a computer 8 times faster than her packard bell, with dual cores, and it'll arrive within 24 hours.
and she'll also be able to do the same for a sandwich, and the sandwich will cost more

in reply to Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ • • •now my brain is stuck on the idea of next-day sandwich delivery
"Your sandwich will arrive sometime tomorrow between 2-5pm and does not require a signature"

You can get SIX computers for the price of a nice sub sandwich delivered to your door

in reply to Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ • • •I kind of like though that i can buy a 6-pack of tiny computers at all.
when i was 10, i built a handheld computer from 2 wood pieces and painted buttons and a display on it.
kind of gone a long way since then.

in reply to Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ • • •as i was pointing out the other day, i can order two of these devices that would put a mid-2000s touchscreen PDA to shame and it costs me $25.
i just have to bring my own operating system and unfortunately the ones for this class of device all died
(which is why i'm sitting here making my own)

in reply to Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ • • •I'm guessing there's also delivery fees and a tip for the sandwich, so you might be able to claim 8 computers for that price, perhaps more.
Damn, now I'm hungry for computers.

so it's 256KB+8KB
