We have not yet reached a point where systems - even high-end boxes - come with a terabyte of installed memory. But products like those from Violin Memory make it clear that the day is coming; one can buy a Violin box with 500GB in it now. So it seems worth asking the question: once one has spent the not inconsiderable sum to buy a box like that, what does one do with all that memory - especially now that the Firefox developers have gotten serious about fixing memory leaks?
Ahh, if Firefox actually does pull off a miracle and fixes a large number of its memory leaks where one won't need a terabyte of RAM to run it, then all that RAM can be used to run OpenOffice.org
