The horrors of booting Windows 2000 on a Pentium 1.
But there is something to be said about prior optimizations in limited resources. A few months back a friend was restoring a G4 iMac and I was astounded at how snappy the whole thing felt once the OS had finally loaded.
We forget how snappy iTunes was while using only 30MB of RAM.
If you can combine the best of boths worlds, there could be something special there.
Modern OS and software are very bloated but it is astounding how fast the hardware crunches through all that. But it could be better.

- jama211 1y agoThere was bloated software back then too, everything’s relative in that regard. A huge amount of the “bloat” can also be attributed to project assets, we forget how restricted we used to be about the look and feel of applications also. I bet people who write 1980’s software said the same thing about iTunes needing a “bloat worthy” 30mb of ram, I mean, what single application could possibly need that much! Am I right?
