- Are RAM space and speed not indirectly concerned by the size of
  actually loaded blocks of EXE's or DLL's ?

- The cost of disk space is secondary, the important is that you
  should put more files on disks with more space. It's not the case with
  such a ``Microsoft'' philosophy that the programs should grow in the
  same proportion as the available disk space (and be as slower as
  the processor is faster): there is no progress at all !

- The HD space grows, but the diskette space doesn't !
