The trivia isn’t Cocoa related. Please don’t post it to the list.
Greg is an expert in the core OS stuff, and the discussion was on topic.
It’s now way off topic.
Please stop the inappropriate aspects of the thread. Memory management is complicated enough without adding irrelevant trivia.
Thanks
Scott
