No matter how sophisticated our technology becomes, programmers will always be bucking limitations. System capacities inexplicably diminish over time. The double-density disk drives that once were the answer to my storage prayers no longer fill the bill. The double-sided, double-density drives I’ll get next will seem like a vast frontier—for a while. I’ve heard guys with 10-megabyte hard disks complain of feeling cramped.
Re-reading "Thinking Forth" is a bit nostalgic. Those were the days! :)
