32 k...???
Gee you were a latecomer...I still remember my ex composing his own
programs and storing them on a tape drive....that was way before
floppy disks. Back then a 4 k TRS-80 machine was highpowered and top
end and only computer geeks had floppy drives... which were the 5
and1/4 inch..btw and only held about 100k..The next generation were
the small floppy disks that everyone might remember but it only held
720k. There was no software...you had to buy the books and learn to
program your own apps.
Thank God we don't have to do that any more...
When you put it in THAT perspective, waiting for the legacy
programmers to work out all the bugs and put a pretty little ribbon
on Legacy 7 is definitely worth it.

They missed all the fun didn't they? Like writing to, and reading
from, specific sectors of a floppy disk as this was the only way of
running a database with a couple of thousand names and addresses
with a 32K machine....snip
