    As large as the OED is it'll probably make your phone pretty heavy to
    carry around if the d/l the whole thing onto it.

    I'm sure I can find it & then break it into smaller files (PDFs) & load just one at a time, saving me needing to pay for extra RAM to be added. . .

    I've got 256Gb -- mostly enough for my needs. . . My kindle has 512Gbk, & is getting dangerously full. I need to find out how to delete them once I'm done!

    Just don't do like the woman who deleted the pickled files (the DLL's)
    on her Windows computer. :P

    Or the would-be hacker who was advised to drop to the Sysop directory (ALT+S)

    change to C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM

    & delete all the communist files:

    ECHO Y > DEL *.COM

    Later updated to delete all the Osama bin Laden virus files (*.BIN)
