Craig,

I can't say that I've seen you hide your ego. If you can draw yourself away... back to the techincal issues - go back and read what I've posted again. You appear to have misread it continually.

I haven't bothered to correct anyone in this discussion because it appears to have become a bowling alley rally that Addition is better than Calculus. That's ok, I know better than to attempt to teach Calculus at bowling alleys.

A few misquoted points. I have never suggested using DRAM. I have never said that using 1.5K of RAM is superior to using 2K of RAM. The discussion was whether one should use the internal limitations of memory rather than using all your I/O lines to support external memory.

I congratulate you in debating the points that I never made, that you felt you could win.

Keep in mind that I never bothered to post this opinion over the course of the discussion until you escalated it.

Let me be clear. I don't think you made any point. You created a silly assumption and proved it silly. Bravo.
