That's what happens with the use of everyone else's code.
Even in class the instructors would say if you have routine that gets you
the results you want
just give credit to the originator and program around it.
That kind of patchwork programming is what we have laying around our
Internet and bloating our pc's.

Subject: RE: Why XP is doomed
I'm not a programmer, but it does seem to me that today's programmers
have been able to get sloppy in terms of memory usage. When I was a kid,
I had a Commodore 64. It took a lot of talent and creativity to be able
to program for a 64k machine. I think programmers these days figure the
end user will have 1-2 gigs of RAM, so they don't try too hard to write
ultra-efficient code. This is true at both the OS and the application
level.

It has just become ridiculous how much memory you need for a
workstation. I
remember upgrading workstations to 32MB of memory and then 64MB and we
thought that was a lot.
Servers back then only had 1-2GB of memory. I remember the old Novell
servers running with 512MB of memory.
