What If I Run Out of Memory?

“What if ... I run out of memory?” Most people do run out of memory with only 18K Visicalc* workspace. But you can expand your Apple II* to 177K Visicalc memory! You can also get 80-column display, lower case letters, and hard disk support—all without buying a bigger computer. The Saturn expansion system for VisiCalc consists of a preboot diskette, one or more plug-in RAM boards, and an optional 80-column display board. You can put the Saturn boards in any slot. And with all that memory, our software lets you save files on more than one diskette. Each Saturn RAM board includes additional software for other programming applications. So your BASIC, PASCAL, and CP/M programs get an extra bonus. Ask your computer dealer for more details about the Saturn memory expansion systems. See how much bigger and better your own microbecomes can become! SATURN SYSTEMS INC P.O. Box 8050 3990 Varsity Drive Ann Arbor, MI 48107 1 (313) 973-8422

На винтажной компьютерной рекламе мужчина и женщина сидят за двумя компьютерами Apple II, а крупная подпись превращает рекламу расширения памяти в шутку о тревоге: «А что, если у меня закончится память?». Мем используют как реакцию на перегрузку, забывчивость или нехватку цифрового хранилища; юмор строится на буквальном прочтении старой рекламы и современном смысле фразы. EN: A vintage computer advertisement shows a man and a woman sitting at two Apple II computers, while the large caption turns the memory-expansion ad into a joke about anxiety: “What if I run out of memory?”. The meme is used as a reaction to overload, forgetfulness, or running out of digital storage; the humor comes from taking the old advertisement’s wording literally in a modern context.
