You have no idea how happy I am that I never needed to mess with that
stuff. Still, the point is well-made: most programmers don't know how
to optimize code because they've always considered RAM to be an endless
resource.
Hmm, apart from needing a reel big enough, is there a technical limit to
how long a paper punch tape can be?
