I'm writting this note on a IIcx with 16 Meg. memory and Maxima (from Virtual).
This morning I had Mathmatica, Word 4.0 and a large (>5 Meg.) Smalltalk 
application all running at the same time under MultiFinder.  Context switching 
was FAST. And the system is solid.  

Now remember that MultiFinder only gives a maximum of 8 Meg to any one
application, but under Finder, my Smalltalk (ParcPlace) application enjoys the 
use of memory above the 8 Meg boundry where ROM lives.  A real plus.
