Not, you understand, that I think the global routing table should be
kept in control, but I find it to be extraordinarily annoying that in
a world where cheap PCs have been able to take 128meg on their
motherboards for years (indeed, many can take far more!) and in which
workstations frequently have 64M of memory in them, there are routers
(many still sold!) which lack the slots to take more than 32M of
memory.
