it depends.  but everything was expensive then.

when i started (1972) i don't remember that being discussed.  it was just the 
way you did it (the date formatting) and i never gave it a thought.

but sometimes, physical disk limitations would be a problem too, beyond the 
money.  remember the 32 had a limit of 12 meg (or something like that) and the 
original 34, 27 meg.

but i think there's more to it than just the disk space.   why key the 19 all 
the time?  weren't you denied coffee or something like that when you tried to 
implement that?
