There is a Demo of the QNX realtime operating system out there
Its entirely on one floppy disc, needs VGA-card and 8MiBytes RAM and thats it

You get a multitasking operating system including a javascript (ofthe 2000s) capable browser

What're you doing with that 64GB of RAM?

Selling it to buy a house.
