In 1984, everything changed. The reason? Two innovations: The reduction in cost of Dynamic RAM (DRAM) chips which allowed more memory, and the production of higher power 8-bit processors, which lowered the prices of the previous chips.

If not, or in case you might have not even heard of this, the AirMiles program basically rewards it's members with "miles" everytime you shop at their advertisers. For example, if you spend $10 at their advertiser (perhaps at Dell.com), you will get 10 "miles" back as an incentive. Not only will you get the product you were going to get anyways, but you will also be rewarded for doing so in the form of "miles".
