I would prefer to keep the limit as is. Who knows what computers will be able 
to handle in the next years.

I will add the information about the limit to the handbook.

Again: I would prefer to keep the limit as is. Who knows what computers will 
be able to handle in the next years.  ;-)

OK.

Once again: I will add the information about the limit to the handbook.  :-)


Thanks a lot for giving such accurate answers!

Good evening,
Leonhard.


PS: Please do not expect the handbook to be updated before the weekend.
