Q.E.D.  And since the Mac is having to spend less time NOT running Postscript,
it can do other mosre useful things.

>8 MB RAM is 8 MB RAM. 

8 MB RAN on a Next is equivalent to 8 MB RAM on a Mac in terms of
functionality?  Well, even rabid Next supporters will admit that this isn't so. 
I mean, how much memory does Mach and Postscript take up?  I'll wager rather
more than the 1.? MB System 7.0 will take (yes, you need a 2 MB Mac to run it,
but that doesn't mean it takes the full 2MB).  It's a small point, true, but at
least try to stick to the facts.

Well, I'm outta here.  When you started resorting to non-factual claims, there
ain't much point in further discussion.
