@colinstu In the era of the first Pentium processors we had 8 MiB (yes, Mibi) of RAM quite often, and 16 MiB the lucky ones. Had a colleague who wrote a memory leaking application, because he wrote convoluted C++ code, instantiating too many out of control classes - the style that I would later witness with Java. When he got a new job position he was triumphant: "Ha! Now I have a PC with 256 megs!". He didn't realize that any space can be filled.
