Well, I've got this friend who would really like to be able to do really fast
searches/matches on the entire corpus of Greek and Latin literature....

A Gigabyte?  Cheesh.  I remember when we got a 10 Meg harddisk for my high
school's computer, and everybody was making jokes about many generations of 
students it would take to use up all that memory.  Now we can have a gig of
ram.  I feel like I'm living in a Monty Python skit, where people are saying
things like "Your computer only has six hundred and forty Kilo-bytes?  My
computer has (gotta say this in an English accent) a GIGA-BYTE (smirk here)"
