Which bringst me to the point that I simply do not understand the memory usage of certain kinds of applications nowadays. For some things like web browsers, it is at least obvious that there is potential to abuse a lot of memory. For others, like many simple business applications, I dont see any reason why something the would have easily fit a C64 nowadays instally to GBs on disk and requires GBs to operate.
