I noticed something interesting -- when I ran the checkbook program (in the
NTK) I created a few checks, then deleted the app to make room for other,
more useful, things. Later I re-loaded it, and the old checks from weeks
ago were still there! That means that the checks were floating in RAM,
even when I deleted the checkbook application, and thus that there can be
things floating in the soup which can't be seen by the user.
