I think it's not fair to say people think extra ram is the solution to everything ....

It's true that the decent programmers could perform the amlost impossible with the ledgendary Sinclair ZX Spectrum and other early computers .... but ....

The more demands you make on a system, the more complex the enviroment, the more call for buffering and larger ram!

Woow, I'm impressed so many people have so many comments to make about such a simple idea!
