I think the commodore OS was about 25k, nowadays it would have to be a few
meg at least... Id like to see a system that more like a few gig and be part

re-programmable, but non-volitile. and hard drives that didnt come on unless
you needed them.... and ofcourse dirt cheap so that everyone could have them!
