a megabyte of 3090 memory cost $19,200. That works out to $0.018311/byte (1 MB = 1024 * 1024 bytes).
Ouch, that hurts. Around that time I was charged about the same for my VMSHARE usage to transport that amount of data through my public X.25 connection (IIRC it was $0.015 per segment of 7 databits, 1 parity bit, and some start and stop bits). I should have considered to buy new bits on the other side rather than sending used ones... One of my co-workers found that instead of sending data to a remote site in China, it was cheaper to to take a return flight to China with the tape. This was in the days when a large international had a single 9600 bps dial-up connection into UUCP to do e-mail... Rob (we're not getting old, technology just changes very fast)
