Limit in lists?

I have always been wondering if there is a limit to how long a list can be. I already know there is a 301 clone limit, but what about a list limit? I am creating a new Encrypted Password Generator that will add to the list of possible characters with more random numbers. Is the limit 301 or is it unlimited?

However much data your computer can store without crashing, I guess

As far as I know there isn't a limit. Why are you asking just curious?

I am curious, and just so when I make another project with lists I won't be surprised.

It depends directly on your RAM. Every new one-character item in a list adds a couple bytes to your RAM (one for the item and one for its number), so if you have 4 gigs of RAM free, that would be about 2 billion 1-character items.
