Sad also that I've still got pristine 6116 2Kx8-bit memory chips at home, and maintaining the delusion that one day they might be useful.

Old RAM can be useful, for example if you want to run Ubuntu on an 8-bit microcontroller:

I salute you, dmitry.

In order to run Linux on an ATmega1284p, that guy:

- bit-banged 16MB DRAM

- bit-banged SPI Flash

- wrote an emulator for a 32Bit ARM & MMU

Apparently it takes 4h to but Ubuntu.

As soon as I get that 2718 adapter ready.
