The smallest laptop-size 2.5" SATA disk I have at home can hold more than 80 GB of data. The size of a program is now a limiting factor only if you are working with embedded applications. Normal, every-day computers have enough disk space to hold tens of thousands of full Emacs installations even without any sort of compression :-) --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.14 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkwD9mcACgkQ1g+UGjGGA7Z7bwCeKzW8wxVQyVkZOCHPMJLjJW2d 6+oAnRcp080G+vBTdqYU9Fms1kCqc9WC =5eXc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
