On: Weird Al had 100 gigs of RAM

> especially likely, because he's talking about *defragging a hard drive*

Can someone explain why this is incorrect? I thought a hard drive is typically what one would defrag

[vlovich123 → RunawayGalaxy]

The thing people are discussing is the 100GiB of RAM line. You wouldn’t typically defrag RAM (although that was a thing back then) and 100GiB is more indicative of HD space and not RAM. So the question is whether the two lines are related and did Weird Al say that defragging his disk freed up 100GiB of RAM (an impossible amount at the time) or 100 GiB of storage and got RAM and disk confused.

That's exactly what clearly points to it being about RAM.

There's no reason to think that they're related.
