It was a project that needed more than 16K of memory. I read that there are tricks to stream memory in as-needed from outside sources, but that just reminds me of programming in the 80s, which I'd rather not go back to. I'm not saying Arduino is bad, I'm just saying I was disappointed that it had a bunch of great features yet curiously had such a limited memory capacity. Memory is really really cheap.
