Loops and memory
I'm afraid that I don't have your new book with Venables handy. So would it be fair to assume that there's no real need to avoid loops these days? Thanks again.

That was written in 1996, when rich people had 64Mb of RAM and teaching labs often had 4 or 8Mb (and R would not run much of the code in the book and crashed quite often). Take a look at `S Programming' for a less ancient view.
