I am now coding "Machine Code" since 1982 (it was a 8039, with BackPack
EEPROM 2716) and if I think back...

At this time, we where much better coders as the one from today...

Yeah, now we have 2 TByte Hard-Drives and...

I have coded 13 yeasr ago a OS for a "Very HighSpeed DSP" and  had  only
128 kByte of storage...  If you ask today someone to do it, they declare
you crazy and sick.  :-/

However, peoples should check this:
