Because kids today don't know or care about saving system resources because
they don't _have_ to know or care about saving system resources. If it
doesn't run, just spend $100 on another gigabyte of memory or 250 gig of
disk, and try again.
Quake 4 takes over 340 megabytes.
Of MEMORY! Shit, I didn't get 340Mb of _disk_ until the mid-90s!
(Don't mind me. I turn 50 in 1 hour 54 minutes. I've got a bottle of
Macallan 12-year-old scotch in front of me, and I'm working on seriously
damaging it).
