→Music: - 128Gb is certainly possible, http://www.deltaserverstore.com/dell-server.html is peddling an off-lease Dell with four processors, 256 Gb each, for $4500 or so... and that's a used computer from 2010 or so?

Line 196:
** The screen issue in the song is an [[Averted Trope]] because TV companies have the same problem with TV sets as monitor manufacturers have - ''there's only so big you can make them''. The ratio to human eyes and human perception remain the same. If the price for the bigger sets went down, they would have to introduce a room-size to be their top, money-making model, and living rooms are only so big. Getting back to Weird Al, he actually lampshades this in "Frank's 2000 inch TV". (A 2000 inch TV set would be 166 feet)
** There's also the matter of ''putting'' the TV into the room, as doors are usually much smaller than the walls.
*** With regards to the RAM, the Intel Xeon 7500 series (used in some Dell PowerEdge servers in 2010) can easily address 128Gb ''per processor'' – and these servers may contain four processors.<!-- https://www.dell.com/downloads/global/products/pedge/en/poweredge-server-11gen-whitepaper-en.pdf -->
* One can only assume that [[50 Cent]] was trying to make his listeners envious when he bragged his car that contains, among other things, a fax machine and a phone. For reference, this song, "High All the Time" was released in 2003.
* Lampshaded by [[Kid Rock]] in "All Summer Long" when he sings "it was 1989" and "we didn't have no Internet".
