Same here, I still only have 512K (gasp!) and still do fine, I always
have an editor hanging around when I compile and mosttimes have quite
a bit of stuff in the RAM: disk.

When I first bought my amiga I was curious to see if the advertised 
"up to 50 windows" was right or not, so I opened up 51 "dotty" windows!
WELL ... Actually I could only do 51 with 2 megs, but I did get somewhere
around 30 or so (this was almost 2 years ago).  Lets see you do that
on a PC with Desqview!
