1. large sequence
Can someone tell me what happens when you are building a large sequence
that grows larger than the memory of the computer (windows).

Your program crashes, plain and simple. To quote the Reference Manual:
2.1.1 Atoms and Sequences
..Sequences can be nested to any depth, i.e. you can have sequences
within sequences within sequences and so on to any depth (until you
run out of memory)...

Correction: ... And virtual memory.
Windows will cause the system to fake more and more memory until all the virtual
is gone as well. At that point. Depending on your OS. As in which version of
Windows. You will either end up with a warning of low resources or an eventual
system crash.
All top posters should be lined up by a newly dug ditch.
Then the machine gun can let lose so the bodies just fall directly into the
massive
grave.

Or the OS swaps it to swap memory on the harddrive, till it uses that up, and
*then* it crashes. Or win95 will say it's used up all the memory, slap it in the
face, and shut it down when i click "OK".

Sure, it looks like this:
Your program has run out of memory.
