Technically true, but in my real world, I deal with physical RAM in the machine. I went from a 2GB machine that was using half its memory to an 8GB machine that is using one quarter its memory. Yes, it's better, but I still want that factor of two! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
