Particularly with the bloatware used today. Why do people think they must solve every problem the future might have in store each time they write something? I stuns me to see how much software makes up any package; and, that doesn't count the multitude of software in the operating system.

I saw a PDP-8 with 8K of memory accurately simulate a lunar landing by the LEM. I bet nobody could do that now.

I remember having a 64k machine Z80 running home automation circa late 80s. Had problems with 48k in it. Got another years worth of programming adding 4k. Then ran out and got another 4k.

Today is a disaster in efficiency.
