  It's all relative.  I work with embedded systems with no mass storage,
but a full IP stack and cellular communications, along with sensor I/O
and data acquisition/reduction, with a less than 120KB code footprint.
Controlling an HVAC system (for example) doesn't really involve much
more than that.
