Explain yourself there, cowboy! No one gets off calling me stupid easily.
Thems fightin' words, Matey! Arrr!
It does what it is asked to do. Nothing more. It isn't screaming at me
saying "PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS, PUT SOME MORE MEMORY IN
ME!!!!!" or anything like that. I don't ask it to do a lot and it obliges
by not keeling over and dying.
Of course, I would never put something like that into a large corporate
environment. That, plus Doug would never let me do it......right, Doug?

Slow is an understatement!
And sufficient for what?
My point is not that it can't be done, but that it is
patently stupid to do so. And there's always some
manager who'll say "but Microsoft says this is all it needs".
Cheers,
Phil
