You've never worked in a DEC RSTS/E, VMS, or a VAX Mini shop have you? (the alters are there, just behind the serial multiplexers)

I dunno, if you've ever written code for a Palm device, you'd believe your 1K worth something too. The API is horrible interrupt driven, barely multitasking (voluntary model), and had no real memory protection. Writing anything that worked without killing the machine was an endevour in itself. hell, a 1 byte memory leak will end up killing (in a short period of time of use) the phone because there is no real way to terminate applications in most implementations.
(Note: I quite writing Palm OS code at Version 4, so the above might not be true now.)
