The only memory problems I see these days are to do with allocating gigabytes and gigabytes of base memory to VM's... what a change from using 4Kb and 8Kb machines which had to use overlays held on tape and/or the latest 2.5Mb (yes Mega Byte) fixed Exchangeable drives (FEDS).

I recall back in the late 90s or early 2000s people poo-pooing the VFP installations that had to carry the 15 megabyte runtimes also besides the program/application EXE itself. LOL
Ditto people complaining about the size of the .NET framework.
Does anybody complain about the size of any softwares anymore? Today's hardware & storage make those arguments pretty moot, don't they? Sure, you still want to design for efficiencies but don't have to worry about running out of space any more.
