I believe the Gates quote was along the lines of "I can't see anyone needing more than 640K in the forseeable future." Remember that the developer community at the time had been going out of their way for years to create the smallest, most efficient code they could. Nowadays it's a disgusting, bloated resource orgy as far as most commercial software is concerned. Woz just commented on it the other day.

"That's some catch, that Catch-22." "It's the best there is." M22ti VP150 EP350 QS8 M3Ti
