Actually, it was in a magazine article about the original Mac's upcoming release ... or maybe it was the PCjr ... one or the other.Mark N wrote:Probably one of the people that I knew that started on Crystal Palace BBS back in the day.Fairportfan wrote:Heh.

Of course, back in those days, Microsoft was known for being, err, small: very tightly programmed and efficient. Once they had more room to play with, they decided to become one program to rule them all. . . . (apparently mainly by being so big they just filled the available space)Fairportfan wrote:Heh.

Memory bloat started with the PC - PC versions of Apple programs that would run happily in 64K (or even 48K) required 128K or even 256K ... and didn't do anything extra.bmonk wrote:Of course, back in those days, Microsoft was known for being, err, small: very tightly programmed and efficient.

Heck. I remember the days when people looked at you funny if your circuit-board layout called for an inverter package instead of using the gate you didn't have any other need for in the quad-NAND package...jwhouk wrote:Remember the days when application size was everything, so you were taught to code concisely?
Huh...that one had colors other than green on a black background? The first computers I remember touching were in 2nd grade (which would have been 1989-1990) in a keyboarding class...and they had black screens with green text/images. Then again, now that I think about it, I remember visiting my Uncle Mike's home when I was around that age...maybe a year ot two older...and seeing a color screen computer (my cousin John played Doom on it...and let me play his Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego game on it).Jabberwonky wrote:Took a little digging, but I knew I had it somewheres...
