I love how the VS2013 update 5 is 6.1GB where you can download the full version of Ultimate with update 5 and it's only 4.8GB. 1990s me would be blown away that VS could be this big. I'd be even more impressed that my work fiber downloaded it at 10.2MB/sec (yes MB not Mb).

1900s me had a fabric binder full of MSDN CDs - dozens upon dozens it seemed - with the same software footprint and a harder "download" process.

I have those from as late as 2006.

Hoarder me keeps everything :-)
