Big?  16MB SIMMs really aren't all that large.  Ugly and awkward?  Huh?

How can you support a progressive platform like the Amiga when you have such
a braindamaged regressive view?  Sounds like you wear computer bigotry
blinders.

Ever thrown 32 bit color images around?  Done four color prepress work?
Used a really big and deep virtual desktop?  VM won't cut it.  Big disk
caches?  RAM drives?  USELESS?
