I used to use a QL. I know about microdrives; let's not go there. Even in

I've allocated more space for a single icon's bitmap than most old 8-bitters
had RAM, let along video RAM. Sigh. I think all programmers these days should
be required to start out on a 1kB ZX81 (or, if you want to go upmarket, a 3kB
Jupiter Ace), just to get the right attitude towards space and efficiency.
