Nobody should need 60 million lines of code (Linux Kernel 30M + Chromium 30M) to render some text and images ;)

I bet that's part of the reason why microcontrollers, embedded programming, and retro computing are all popular hobbies these days. A return to a simpler time, when programs are compiled to a few kilobytes and run as fast as the hardware allows. Graphics? Unicode? Who needs 'em, just a stream of ASCII and integers for me thanks.
640K ought to be enough for anybody.
