well... we've produced quite a few projects (not in MC) over 4GB - images,
text, buttons, etc - (these are mostly touchscreen interactive 'kiosk'
publications, though we're currently working on a DVD-ROM) I think the
largest one is currently about 19GB, and expanding.

But admittedly all the data isn't loaded into RAM simultaneously, so it
doesn't really count.  But it does make the point that humans can assemble
very large quantities of quality content (and we're not wasteful with space,
honest).
