Wives, byte sizes, conversion . . . almost as inflammatory words as 
'cheese' . . .  :)

I do feel that, with the advent of computers with bucketloads of RAM and
socking-great hard disks the virtue of trying to keep ones files small has
got lost.

With the advent of a new generation of micro-computer (phones, mp4 
players, and so on),
that virtue may not be seen as quite as redundant as people have been 
thinking recently.
