+1 on George Neuner's comments about how one can do smart processing of huge files in small space. (I almost said something about that myself, but didn't have time to get into that kind of discussion, so I stuck to only the simpler file concatenation question.)

BTW, students who have 8GB RAM and 256GB of SSD in their cheap laptop, and who are looking for relevance of learning how to compute with resource constraints, should note the current buzzwords "big data", "Internet of Things", etc. (Most any 12 year-old can learn to code a phone/tablet app, throw up an AJAX-y Web site, or make 3D game assets/mods. One of the reasons that professional software engineers have to keep learning is so that we can do things that 12yos can't.)
