A 2100, depending on the packages you have in the internal memory and on any
inserted cards, has around 300-400 KB of free heap, or working memory. The
rest is used by the system. Every package you have on a card will consume a
little bit of memory. If you have a large card, and have a lot of package,
then a lot more memory will be lost.

cargo cult programming n.: A style of (incompetent) programming dominated by
ritual inclusion of code or program structures that serve no real purpose. A
cargo cult programmer will usually explain the extra code as a way of
working around some bug encountered in the past, but usually neither the bug
nor the reason the code apparently avoided the bug was ever fully understood
(compare shotgun debugging, voodoo programming).
