Today my dad still uses an accounting app he wrote in dbase, running on
an Apple II. (No, not the IIe. The original Apple II. A decade before
Macs existed.) The entire machine runs on 64k memory, of which 16k is
ROM, and only 48k is actual usable memory.

Nowadays? The simplest accounting app takes... oh, several megabytes?
