They were going to try that on computer memory a few years back, until

they'd try again during the 9/11 job slump, but maybe they realized that
the job market would rebound and their new slaves could quit in protest
then too. Had they succeeded, you'd find memory at $5 per megabyte today.



I remember when it was $400 per megabyte!


A 32 Kilobyte card used to cost that. A 20 **Meg** hard drive was almost
800 bucks.
