Megapulse requirements even follow memory growth curves. Compare, oh,
the space Win3.1 takes up, compared to Win95. Then compare an Attack-6
program in SR1 to an Attack-6 program in VR2. (So the "amazingly huge"
500MP hard disk your decker bought in 2050 is a pinhead on which angels
dance in 2058.)
