And if you get 65536? You can't tell whether it is the amount of memory REALLY
installed in the computer...

I think that it's sensible. Still, it would be great to have a way to find out
the actual and exact amout of memory present.

You can't brush me under the carpet, you can't hide me under the stairs,
The custodian of your private fears, your leading actor of yesteryear,
Who as you crawled out of the alleys of obscurity, sentenced to rejection
in the morass of anonymity. You who I directed with a lover's will, you
who I let hypnotise the lens. You who I let bathe in the spotlights glare.
You who wiped me from your memory like a greasepaint mask, just like a
greasepaint mask...
