Along with the GUI and the personal computer itself, but hey, don't let me stop you from cherry-picking facts to support your position.
One of Opera's claims to fame before I joined was that the browser would fit on a floppy disk (which is 1.44 MB). "Fits on a floppy" was a great slogan in those days. When CSS was added, a few more bytes were needed and Opera would no longer fit. "Almost fits on a floppy" doesn't quite have the same ring to it.
Even though I've been around long enough, it blows my mind now that *anything* ever fit on a floppy.

Put a million people on Mars with no oil, and what are they going to do? That's right -- they'll attack Earth to get our oil! No thanks, Elon.
I, for one, will *not* welcome our new Martian overlords.

You owe me one (1) new keyboard and one (1) new monitor.
No no no, you want Windows RG (Really Good) edition.
There are only two hard things in computer science: caching, naming, and off-by-1 errors
What of 11 through 94? 96? 97? 99 through 1,999?
Full list of planned features here.
Last time they had a $99 tablet they sold like mad. This should work out well.
"HP... wants to offer a range of products to meet different needs..."
Understatement of the century. I think HP has more SKUs than customers.
It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
