Whether it should be a spreadsheet maybe is point: we use modern
quantities of memory by "wasting" it. But, if you have it, why not? Do
graphics one-pixel-per-spreadsheet-cell, if you want.
What was once a supercomputer locked away for use by appointment for
Important Projects is now something that gets shoved in front of a
sticky baby to try to entertain the little tike a few minutes more. And
mom swears it is worth it, insists it is an important project.
-kb, the Kent who is still stunned to try to appreciate how much 16GB of
RAM is.
