... not just another "Dear John - Letter" from Germany :)

Hello John,

thank you very much for taking the time to respond in person, I can quite imagine how you are taken up in that Sisyphean task of yours. First of all, I would like to really encourage you and your team to keep up the good work which is looking very, very promising (probably an explanation for my high expectations). Since I am coming more from the business world, which is yet rather untouched by Wolfram's magic (I am excluding finance here, of course). This world is still heavily invested in Excel and lots of "gadgets". So addressing THE gadget of them all, the iPad, is a very wise and strong move.

Regarding the issues, I can quite follow you arguments. I must admit, that while I have mastered a lot of Mathematica by now, I still have to learn to be more aware with regard to the lower level OSI-spheres: Memory and Performance - which often are not very obvious.

So, I had thought that preprocessing the content and inserting it in a compressed form (I learned that from a wizard in Berlin :) ) would aleviate the problem a bit. Unfortunately it did not. Using Datasets to dynamically present results is a must have to me (It should use up not much more of 4 MB if I remember correctly).

I will try to be patient a bit more - also "try out" some more.

Thanks for the reply and keep up the good work!
