Point taken.  I acted too PC-centric.  Still, it seems
extraordinaryily wasteful to expend 64K of resources without reason.
Bloated and clumsy programs can be written on any architecture and any
computer.  If programmers can say "64 extra K--who cares?"  today,
tomorrow it will be 128K, and the next day 1M, and so on.  Let's keep
our code lean and mean, folks.  On any computer.
