Abstract
Although many parts of a computer system can vary in size, it is the amount of data which can be stored that more often than not determines whether we call it a large or a small system. Consider the smallest systems, such as pocket calculators, which have only a few registers of data memory. It is predictable that their capability will grow in the direction of increased data storage.
