I know a guy fitted for the job. He's well versed in MS-DOS, Win 3.1, 3.11 etc. Hell, he's even fluent in German, but he's due a hip and knee replacement this month...

That's all I'm gonna say.

Yeah, but it will feel like 16MB on a Mac. PowerPC.

Reminds me of the lessons from Chad Fowler’s talk on “Legacy”. https://youtu.be/P4xSmYr7PEg
