The upgrade from a hammer to a nailgun didn’t suddenly make everyone a master carpenter, but in the hands of some that knows how to use it, it can greatly increase productivity.

This was because Windows 95 needed at least 8MB ( <- not a typo) of 30 pin SIMM RAM to run well. A couple years later and people were putting them on their keychains as a joke.
