I agree. If the object database can fit in the 512GB (and the OS and Smalltalk VM are changed to do what is needed)
$9,000 isn't that bad. Being able to use Smalltalk collections in an object that would ordinarily be an SQL table row
and require complex SQL tables and code, makes the cost of the memory look cheep.
