Re: [Dev-C++] Longhorn

[jose i. c. <ji...@fr...>]

I still have my Amiga 1000, which at 7Mhz with 8M RAM, has faster speed than
most machines today.  The programs were so small in size, I only have a 128M
hard drive and I have 5 partitions on it.  I have music software there, I
have compilers, games, a ABasic program that is over 20000 lines, and word
processing gallore and more.  What happened?
