“A street had houses numbered 64K, 128K, 256K, 512K and 1MB. It was a trip down memory lane”

“Memory lane” is an imaginary path through the nostalgically remembered past and not an actual street. However, a computer memory joke was posted on Twitter on March 17, 2010:
 
“I walked down a street where the houses were numbered 64K, 128K, 256K, 512K and 1MB. That was a trip down memory lane.”
