The key piece here is that when you open Extras, then select Memory Info, in
the lower left corner of the little dialog that appears, it should say:
"System RAM installed 3984K". If it doesn't show a value very close to that,
then you don't have an upgraded 2000.

The term can also be used in reference to programming style: brute-force programs are written in a heavyhanded, tedious way, full of repetition and devoid of any elegance or useful abstraction (see also brute force and ignorance).
