   Don't you see that it's kind of outrageous (even on a Unix box) to require so
   much memory before you get a decent response out of the GUI?  Sure, it's "just
   fine" with 8MB... until you start running something else and NeXTStep gets
   swapped out.  I'm not defending X Windows either.  They're both memory pigs.

Memory is cheap.  It's now less than $200 for 4MB, and prices are
still dropping.  It's almost like complaining that someone is wasting
paper clips.  Who cares?
