If you have 10 programs stored they'll only take up half the
space if theyre compressed 50%. That means when a program is
expanded and running it has more space available to it because
the other 9 are taking up only half as much space.
What wheel? TI did some things and we can choose to do more.
That's what keeps computers going.
