They always say computers are so good with numbers, but you can’t even store 2000 numbers in a single file!!

Try it out for yourself:

seq 1 2000 | tr '\n' ' '
cat > /tmp/wat.txt
<copy&paste the 2000 numbers from above, press enter, then ctrl+d to end input>
cat /tmp/wat.txt
wc /tmp/wat.txt

Or see my screencast here: asciinema.org/a/fLhMt640MqFWGu

On a Mac, I can save even fewer numbers! But at least I get feedback that the line is full. How many numbers can your computer save?
