That's all well and good, but how about providing something interesting for
these folks to use as a RAM: icon?  Here's my uuencoded RAM:Disk.info.
Actually it's stored on my workbench disk as SYS:Ram.diskinfo and in the good
old startup-sequence somewhere before the LoadWb I have

copy SYS:Ram.diskinfo RAM:Disk.info

It's made the rounds on a couple of local BBS's, but since the subject came up
here I might as well spread it around here, too.

For those who couldn't be bothered looking at it, it's a memory chip which
surges with electricity when clicked on.

This sucker is PUBLIC DOMAIN etc.... Do with it what you want.
If it ever did show up in a commercial product I'd freak out (with amazement).

Incidentally, with the advent of 1.3 I now use it for RAD: as well.

It's short, so like, no flames, eh!  Enjoy!
