Any guess as to how much RAM the code for a graphics-less kernel might be? (The code for integration alone must be humungous.) But would very many people really want a hand-held Mathematica that did NOT include graphics? For example, one where you could not even do a simple Plot? And if you say you want that included, then where do you stop?
