Fine.  Substitute those words.  My point remains the same.  

And if you will read what I write, I wasn't trying to up the ante, a megaword
(or megabyte) of static RAM or DRAM is just silly from the chip manufacturer's
point of view.  If it were economically feasible, they would be doing it.  It
won't happen because the buyers that purchase in huge quantities don't need that
much RAM for their applications, such as kitchen appliances, clocks and a
cartload of other little stuff.

You seem to be nitpicking tiny little details - the consequence of which appears
to be a desire to start an argument and I will not participate.  I don't
normally respond to your posts because that seems to be the flow of them anyway.
 So I've made my point and I'm done.

Whatever Karl, I concede that you are far smarter than I am.  OK?  Are we done yet?
