Well... yeah... while you're running the demo.  But what about when I want
to write some code?  Or run a command line shell?  Or if I want man pages?
Or if I want to do some perl scripting?  Or if I want a web and ftp server
with a nice web art collection and a mirror of sunsite?  Or if I want to try
tweaking some of the kernel parameters myself?  Even if I didn't have any of
the source code (which is something I demand now in my systems), that's an
awful lot of RAM....
