Ok.. I dunno what Electron is. I might look it up.  But wrt  
RAM, the DT version on my XP laptop only uses up an extra 200KB  
of RAM after it loads.

Perhaps they use the phone for authentication because the app  
was originally a phone app?  ...and DT version came later?

Telegram just seems very efficient in how it operates.  I like  
that.
