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?
 
Does anyone understand exactly what I mean?

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