AND when a program was installed everything was placed in the same directory and not hidden in random obscure places nobody would ever look. Want to delete a program? Delete the directory it was in and everything was gone. Of course hard drive space was much more costly and valuable in those days. I guess now we can afford to leave misc. garbage and never again used or needed files on the hard drive. I installed Adobe Suite CS4 (I think) a few years ago and it required over 1 GB of drive space. I remember the first hard drive I ever had was a monstrous 30 MB and I upgraded from the 360K floppy drive to the new 1.44 MB drive about that time. I had complete programs on those 360K floppy disk and my 640K of ram was enough.
Now using 2TB hard drive with 12 GB of ram.
