Hi, I just run out of Memory and the kernel shuts down. I have always tried to find whether Mathematica has some construct similar to sizeof() but to no avail. I don't think it exists. It should exist. Then I think that maybe that would open a Pandoras box. How would Max[] and Min[] fit into the Mathematica system? Which BTW returns -Infinity and Infinity, repectively.
