RSX-11M. I used to work with another guy on a 64K machine: two editor
sessions, two FORTRAN-IV compilers, two linkers. I must admit, that was
tough, but when we got 128K, there was no problem anymore.
When first PCs came equipped with 640K it was a shock to me how this "huge"
amount of memory was wasted. For example, at the same time a 1MB VMS
machine was used to support 6 interactive LSE-users.
(These days I cannot compile some Ada programs under Windows 32-bit XP
because GNAT runs out of the 2GB memory limit! (:-))
