I keep hearing this too, but it all depends on your *APPLICATIONS*:
I can run VersaTerm and Macwrite at the same time in MF with only
1 meg.  Some memory-hog programs (like SuperPaint) won't even run,
however.

Notice that Apple has recently made DRASTIC price reductions on
the memory upgrades.  I hear that getting them is the battle.
