How the quickstarter works is have use gobs of memory effectively

75MB is not 'gobs' - that or we live in very different realities.
Yes, it is gobs. If you have 4GB+, perhaps it's not, but not everyone
has 4GB+. Particularly in non-Western countries. I have just
returned from Ethiopia, for example, where owning a computer is rare;
for those who do, 256 MB is common. I suspect that we *do* live in

RAM is extremely cheap these days.
If $100 bucks is cheap to you, then so be it. It's not to me, a
graduate student.
