Dear Ivan KrstiÄ~G,

To teach young students effectively I produce movie using .swf format on 
my web at http://supat.eu.org/ for several years already.

Earlier movie that I moved out took 338 MB RAM
(the .swf file took few MB only) BUt to play it will eat 338 MB.

My current .swf movie eat 2xx MB RAM.

Ofcause OLPC never ship with 338 MB flash movie and I never ask OLPC to do 
so. BUT when students need to learn some thing effectively they must 
access the web that always contain huge .swf

The most 2 famous web in Thailand namely http://pantip.com/ and 
http://manager.co.th/ always contain 20 MB RAM to eat .swf

Ofcause at this moment OLPC can play them w/o problem.

BUT who can guarantee that the size will not increase to 338 MB RAM eat as 
I already made it earlier to teach my students and they complain no pc in 
my department except my server (2MB RAM) can play it w/o problem.
