Yep....But, from a business perspective; It comes down to a simple case of which is cheaper; people or hardware? Back then, there was little choice....and I personally did OK out of it.Which is why we have simple apps taking hundreds of megabytes and people want 8GB (or even 16GB?) Pis.When I was a young programmer, many decades ago; we used to spend a lot of time optimising solutions.....Then hardware became cheaper and compilers became better. In parallel; programmers became more expensive. The result is that now; we tend to throw hardware at problems rather than manpower.
