This is not "these days", it's "once upon a time" :)

His first computer was, allegedly, the product of a collaboration with George Stibitz.

                    You won't have to since a stupid file limitations
                    prevents it from happening.
                    Why would it be a problem to have a 2GB
                    environment in one scene anyway? 2GB is nothing
                    these days, any moderately complex compositing
                    shot moves several times that much data to memory
                    or tier 0 before even opening these days.

                    And I don't know where you work these days, but
                    32GB of ram, SSD storage (or even FX I/O style
                    flash tier0) and multiple synced gigabit networks
                    are cheap as dirt these days. 2GB is nothing.

                    Besides, if you're provided with things such as
                    LIDARs, and you need the lot BEFORE you
                    partition, how would you work around that?

                    "640KB of memory should be enough for anybody".
                    It's a silly way to think and there should be no
                    limit by the app that is by such a gigantic
                    margin shorter than the actual OS barriers to it.

                            It's kinda silly that this type of
                            limitation is still around, and generally
                            so common.

                                        wanted to know if it's true
                                        that SI files have a size
                                        limit. I'm working on a file
                                        I cannot save. Every time I
                                        try to, Softimage tells me
                                        that certain elements were
                                        not saved, and that I should
                                        contact Softimage. If I try
                                        to open said fail, SI
                                        crashes almost immediately.
                                        People here at work are
                                        telling me that apparently,
                                        SI cannot save/load files
                                        over 2 GB. I just wanted to
                                        confirm this is true so I
                                        can take appropriate
                                        actions. Thanks!
