Yes, memory is cheap, disk space is pratically free and processors
increase in power every year. But that is not a reason to ignore memory
usage or write inefficient programs.  IF we used the same programming
standards as we had in the last century :-) (70s and 80s) then WinXP would
probably run on a 486 with 64MB RAM.
