Ideally, yes.  But note that the most impressive programs are the ones
that will need ALL of the machine's memory cycles and CPU (and copper)
power.  Also note, there ain't no such thing as enough RAM.  Sometimes
one HAS to terminate programs to make room.  Programs which can't be
gracefully terminated are Evil.

Hundreds of megabytes of hard disk -- YES!  Quit teasing me with these
piddly little 20MB jobs.  I'd be doing the floppy shuffle again in a
week with one of those.
