Same here.

In the late 90s and early 2000s, I could not have imagined a scenario where an editor takes up 200+ MB! The entire Office 97 suite was well under 192MB closer to 130MB! Adobe Photoshop CS2 installed was under 370 MB.

Memory usage now is also insane.

Office 2000 would run on 32MB of RAM and run really well on 64MB! Now a single tab on Firefox or any other browser on a static website takes up well over 400MB.

A single tab showing Facebook on my laptop takes up about 390MB! Even Hackernews website takes up 36MB!

I too want to go back to the days when things were a lot simpler.
