I don't remember seeing your first post, but I called Fifth Generation some
weeks ago when people first started discussing the upgrade. I had just 
discovered that I never sent in the registration card (from last December)
and it still had the old name and address (Software Supply?).

Fifth Generation told me to send it to them along with a check for $25 and
to request the upgrade with Pyro. Earlier I had read that you could upgrade
Suitcase without getting Pyro for (I believe) $5-10 less. The person I 
talked to didn't mention any other alternative. I just wanted something
that worked with multifinder.

I still don't have the upgrade, but I decided to be a little more patient
since I was just sending the original registration card at the same time.
I just hope Suitcase II solves my memory problems. It's not that I want
a whole bunch of fonts and DAs. I just want the leanest system possible so
I can stop running out of memory several times a day with Word. 

I don't really understand how Suitcase will help if it opens its files at
boot time too. What's the difference if the fonts are in the system file
or a Suitcase file?

If someone answers this question telling me that Suitcase won't help, I may
still cancel the upgrade.
