Subject: Re: Almost 26 years on this platform, and got my first CPF4235
message

On a computer, everything behaves as if it were a gas, and expands to fill
all available space. They did it with 48k on early desktop computers; they
did it with 640k on the IBM PC; why should we be surprised that somebody
managed to have a mere 2.6 million spool files on the system at once?

I'm sure that if we were to land a big enough shop as a Wintouch customer,
they'd eventually hit the brick wall at either 55 flavors of extended
profile, 999 locations, 8999 users, 68,999 user-defined fields,
999,989,999 accounts, 98,999,999,999 contacts, 99,999,999,999
street/mailing/shipping addresses, 9,899,999,989,999 account/contact
relationships, 998,999,999,999,999 activities, or 999,999,999,999,999
records per flavor of extended profile.
