P.S. If a problem can be solved by adding more RAM, it is not a real

1M, 4M, 16M, 64M... But people still use it, they just put more memory
in their machines. Someone can still advertise OS which fits on one
floppy and has full-blown GUI, multitasking, etc. But who cares, if
polishing assembly code takes so much more than simply using VB?
OS-9, QNX. Not quite a floppy (any more), but pretty small for the power :)
I still remember running OS-9 on a Tandy CoCo and running rings around anything else at the time with a substantially lower-power CPU at a lower clock rate and having substantially better multitasking.
Of course, rapidly inserting/removing RAM cartridges to implement the virtual memory kinda sucked.
