This author needs to go back to a time where you had to manage 512MB of memory.
People back then would've killed for 8GB now.
The problem I see though is software developers having a field day with not caring about optimizing and not making their software bloated as possible so that it doesn't require so much memory.
Yes, no big deal. We can go back to having 640x480 displays too.
1.2 GB hard drives, too.
I had to think twice, it didn't sound right..
The first HDD I ever bought was an 80 GB Maxtor. I have games now that wouldn't even fit on that drive.
my first HDD was a whopping 40MB big (you could fit sooo many floppys on that!), weighed 10 pounds and was about the size of a watermelon. when starting wing commander i could determine - by the noises the motors in that thing made - at what point of the loading i was (like an acoustic progress bar lol).
