I wonder if we took a standard build of the most recent versions of Google chrome, firefox, or safari, plus this tiny code, whether or not that would cost more or less storage than a minimum install of office 97 or whatever the oldest viable version of office for Mac OS x is still out there.
With these few kilobytes of code plus the hundreds of megabytes of runtime that constitutes the browser still take up less storage space than an office suite that can retain State and persist data?
- rightbyte 6y agoI installed MS Office with floppies at some point. So I guess no? In some sense saying a browser based tool is small is like putting "c:\path\to\word.exe" in a bat-file and counting the lines.
