We used to be able to open 10 files at a time on 4MB systems back in the 90s.

(They weren't big files, of course, but still. Standards have slipped.)

Yes, those were the days...every once in a while, I visit https://kolibrios.org/en/screen to get nostalgic.

Indeed standards have slipped or better say have been sacrificed at the altar of "quantity over quality".

For a simple "Hello, World!" string message, nowadays you need how many MBs of RAM.

Madness, complete madness!
