Here's a bit of fuel for your fire.  Apple came to our University a few
months back to give an administrator's course on A/UX.  One of the
questions posed to the instructors dealt with the memory shortage.
I paraphrase the instructor's reply:  "If you buy an A/UX box, you
WILL have the memory you request.  You needn't worry about that."
