This is a good point to make. I think RR is all about the GUI, the
libraries, and the docs and tutoriarials, which take up more memory.

However, my machines are a bit old, slow, have memory limitations. In a way,
this is good since a number of my solutions must be used on old equipment
which can be affordably provided to user's who need them, but cannot afford
new equipment. This helps ensure an app will run OK for them.

Don't get me wrong, though. I still slobber all over myself looking at the
specs on the new Macs, let alone the industrial design. But I can muddle
through for now.
