Bah. Real old farts ran munix on a 32k PDP 11/03- shell and apps in
the low 16k and the kernel in the upper. Or was it the other way
around? At Tektronix, a PDP 11/70 supported 64 users runing vi and
compiling simultaneously, although starting a link job meant going out
for coffee.
As a point of comparison with huge and speed: in 1987 my Sun 3/50
with a 15MHz 68020 and 4MB of memory could open the mailtool and I
could be reading email within a second.
My current desktop with 8GB of memory and running 8 cores @ 2.2GHz
and Thunderbird running almost entirely memory before being
un-iconified still takes a couple of seconds to be usable.
That's why I use mutt. :-)
