I have to wonder why there are memory limits at *all* in any of the
64-bit versions that aren't hardware imposed. That is just stupid and
ugly (to borrow a few words out of the book of Torvalds). It doesn't
cost any extra to support what the hardware supports, so why the
limitation? One word: extortion.

I wouldn't open a sheet that used that many cells, let alone however
many you claim Excel can have. Such a sheet would not be very useful;
large datasets belong in database systems, not spreadsheets.
