Every machine has a maximum string size. What you really mean is "a maximum 
string size small enough I've bumped into it often enough to be annoying."

I knew a professor who taught "There's two kinds of programming languages. 
Those that support bounds-checks on their fundamental data types, and those 
that don't know they need to support bounds-checks on their fundamental data 
types."  (Or something to that effect.)

   I ordered stamps from Zazzle that read "Place Stamp Here".
