- I would agree, but I don't think that it is a viable option in this case. It
- might be possible with an OS which had more severe restrictions on memory usage

- Also I really dislike the idea of having a 'switch' to turn mem-protection on

- mem-protection switched off, so please reboot your system, hold the left mouse
- button while pressing F10 to switch it off"
