If someone made a program so small, memory. Then why today something like VB gives you a 500KB folder?

64Kb
Can someone tell me why on very old timers computers ha, a programmer could write up some code and it would be so small compared today. 500kb?
Have a thought for a second...

I have a couple of very small projects in VB 2005. This exe file is 52 kb and the debugging file is 47 kb.
A 500 kb compiled project is moderately big.
Currently using: VS 2005 & 2008 Pro w/sp1 & VS 2010 Ultimate on Win7 Ultimate x64.
There are 3 kinds of people in the world: Those who can count and those who can't.
4 out of 3 people have trouble with fractions.
Windows has a 64 bit GUI for a set of 32 bit extensions on a 16 bit shell for an 8 bit OS using a 4 bit kernel made by a 2 bit company that can't stand 1 bit of competition.

Sorry, I was vague. I mean before it has been compiled. Project files.

Text uses a lot more storage space than compiled files

Hmm, righty. text and GDI+ or that is really the same. Just when active GDI+ isn't text...
