I couldn't run Illustrator88 on my 1MB SE, which is why I now have
a 2.5MB SE. At the time, I had a medium-complexity diagram that had to
go out in a week, and it just wouldn't open. Smaller ones would, so I assume
you've been treading close to the line for a while and ATM pushed you
over the edge.

You need the latest version -- 1.9, I believe.
