are based on binary stuff, some smart and some less smart and efficient.
If one is really old one could of course remember when a lot of things were done with much
less than 64kB, but connecting the embedded binary dots might still be difficult for
most who have not written a story in assembly, even just a a "Hello world".
Not to forget the micro-coding guys who made all those singing postcards, max of 256 bytes,
melody and all, 30 cents including a battery. |
