Because they can't get a gig

On the back of the T-shirt it says "Yeah yeah 1023 MB, nerd"

I already knew the punchline before clicking, but this second part was a nice touch. It made me smile.

Actually I think he said haven't got a gig, not can't get a gig.

It has to do with the difference between mebibytes and megabytes.

To put it simply, what a computer will register as a gigabyte of hard drive space is measured as 1024 MB, but manufacturers measure it instead as 1000MB. That's why when you buy a laptop with say 1TB hard drive, you will actually get about 50 gig less actual usable space than that.
