Default Horribly OT - PC Advice

And the first corollary of Moore's Law is that software authors get more
and more lazy as a result and write less and less efficient code. Anyone
remember the Sinclair Z88? It had an operating system and Pipedream
(combined text processor, spreadsheet, database and comms package) in
12K (yes, that's a K not an M).


I was always in awe of the Chess program in 1k for the ZX81 that
actually played a game against you.
