Wow...

1. The debugger is worth > $250. Trust me. $70 is a small price to pay
for this *very* usefull tool. I remember when Sumaccs was the only
C compiler for the mac and MacDB was the rage. We've come a long way with
LSC 3.0 and TMON. $70 seems a reasonable price.

We regularly use projects which are over 600K in size. LSC is suprising
bug free. It should cost a lot more.

2. 2Mb is not enough to run the debugger for applications which end up
being 100-200K. I am forced (well, maybe not forced) to run with 4Mb and can't
imagine it working with only 1mb. (It's a crying shame that the Mac II does
not have virtual memory.)

Please don't flame back over usenet. send me mail.
