Yep, the good ol' days of programming, when you had a whopping 1K of
RAM to play with, so had to program efficiently ... unlike these days
of lazy, over-bloated, inefficient code.  :-(

Write the "Hellow World" program on a VIC 20 BASIC and it takes up a
few bytes. Write it on a modern computer in something RealBASIC, build
the application, and it takes up a megabyte or more, thanks mostly to
all the pointlessly included libraries that aren't even needed.
