What is difficult for some to understand is that with 2MB and System 7, you *really* won't be able to run two health sized applications! Even some of those Apple people told me that. 2MB of RAM in System 7 is like 1MB of RAM under System 6. Especially since you can't run just the Finder, everything is Multifinder. -- Pat --------------------------------------> hoepfner@heasfs.gsfc.nasa.gov P.S.
