I remember when it was like 70mb to download Live.

What's taking up all that extra space?

i remember when it was around 20 something.

Your extra money (pls think about it).

I remember windows 3.1 running on a 386 /w an AMD 40MHz Processor and 4MB Ram, 120MB HDD.

I remember running a Sinclair ZX81 with 1KB (kilobyte) of memory and no hard drive. Cassette recorder for loading and saving. 3.5 Mhz 8 bit Zilog Z80 processor - upgraded to a whopping 16k via the rampack, which always caused the computer to a) overheat and b) any movement of any kind would cause the rampack to reset the computer, I swear if a fly farted nearby your data was a goner ... happy days

I still have one of those in the loft complete with the huge ram pack.

its pretty disgusting that you allways have to download and install all this shitty content...
such a waste of bandwith is actually enviromental polution.. quite the same as throwing batterys in the garbage..
but ok..ableton never claimed to be enviromental friendly..

Keep cool, you're not obliged to download it everytime you want to play with Live!
