- Actually, i think the problem Maruku's referring to is this:
- What do you do if you have a machine not too far from the "European Target
- Machine": memory <=1M, one or two floppies? You can't download >~880k files
- to floppy - they won't fit. Can't put 'em in a ramdisk - they still won't
- fit.

- I don't worry about it personally as i have 3M and an HD, but it's a valid
- point!
