We once ran Windows 95 with Encarta in about the same amount of disk space.

We crossed lunacy long ago.

Whoa, Encarta was such a great thing back in the day for me. Brought back memories.

I agree, that we crossed lunacy long ago, and that LLMs have not helped in the slightest.

I remember my first PC had a HD of around 20Mb. It was vast at the time, I had so much software to keep me busy for a while that I I felt overwhelmed. Amongst those there was Windows 3.0, taking probably a whopping 3mb
