What do you mean?

No, they probably mean tiny libraries.

Where do you see the low contrast?

OP wasn't talking about code but aesthetics.

Yes, memory was the main issue. The PC launched with 64KB of RAM. Technically there was a model with 16KB of RAM and no disk drive but I don't think they produced or sold many of those.

MIPS has switched to RISC-V.

Why is that funny?

Not sure what you mean. The equivalent on the internet is probably spam and scam emails and they're also typically blocked by your email provider.

4GB is completely fine in Windows 7.

More like hand-prompted...
