Except that it's *difficult* to fit a lot of features into 64 KB of RAM, 
but it's easy to fit it into, say, 256 MB. So why do we suddenly need 2 
GB? (Other than that it keeps the hardware vendors happy...)

Isn't that like saying "if the cheapest Dell offers Vista, then Vista 
isn't an overpriced OS"? ;-)
