Well, of course we do. The silver lining in this statement is that if we did NOT waste computer memory, the consumer-financed revolution that produced desktops, laptops and now smart phones would never have happened. And the closest you'd ever get to posting to a forum like this would be to type out assembler code on your TRS-80 to appear on a BBS to be downloaded at 300 baud.
