      Jesus Christ, Steam at 1.4 GB and you are expected to run that WHILE PLAYING GAMES? That made my eyes pop outta my head.

      For real, I remember when an entire game being over a 20 MiB made me hesitate to download it because it’d take a while.

        The Half Life demo was 50MB. Took me 4 tries to get it over dialup. Played till the sun came up!

      I remember the stories my father told me of his early dev days… “so the mainframe we wrote the whole national social security system for had 8K of RAM”.
