YOU had 16 Kb?  Luxury!

You young people don't know how easy you had it!

{etc, fill in I-remembers and old-man gags, etc.}  

Isn't it cool that things have improved so quickly and
so vastly in this old world?  In so many past generations, 
people lived much the same way their grandfathers did and 
the way their grandchildren did.  Now, especially those
of us who are into technology have had significantly
differing life experiences if our ages differ by
as little as five years.

Yet people tell me, over and over again, my friend,
they dont believe we're on the eve of construction.
