Hi Richard,

IMF(oolesh)O, these kinds of concerns are holdovers from days when memory &
disk storage were expensive and most applications were lean.

Today I can buy 256MB of iBook RAM for $30, and the memory requirements of
most mainstream commercial appliactions may easily exceed 20MB.

Of course I don't know your average customer.    :{`)
