> A two-megabit chip, for example, was $599 in September 1985, making the cost-per-megabyte for larger-capacity RAM $300, per McCallum’s analysis.
The numbers here make no sense, and it is because they don't match the source analysis: It's a two megabyte chip, for $599, that appears in the analysis. (Thus, $600 for 2 MB = $300/MB.)
