Great line! RAM or ROM Computer??? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Does anybody remember the great line that Ricky told some condescending adult about RAM or ROM computers???

Of course the line made absolutely no sense from a technology standpoint. But I remember being amused by it. Of course back in those days maybe there were RAM and ROM computers...

in some cases that sort of comment would make sense - at least in terms of the ADVERTISED memory; the Commodore Vic20 had 20K of ROM, but only 5K of RAM, but it was never advertised quite that way.

I don't remember the exact line, but I remember him saying it.

Thanks Rob! Maybe Ricky was smarter than I thought!!!

Nonetheless, I'm glad someone else remembered it too.
