#2Do you have 2TB of RAM? 37TB of RAM?
What if 99.999% of that stuff isn’t actively used? Haven’t you then wasted all your money in buying all that RAM to store all that stuff you’ve never used since it was written the first time, in the hope that one day sometime in the future you might actually use it again?
