My home machine is a 286 clone with 1 Meg of memory, and it isn't quite
enough for the Excel spreadsheets I have been doing (which aren't all
that big, but a bunch of them are linked...)  

The local computer shop where I bought the machine suggested that rather
than shelling out ~$500 for an AboveBoard, I buy a $49 software utility
called "softbytes" (I think), which makes the memory >640K look like LIM
memory.

Has anyone tried this with Windows, and/or Excel?  It sounds like a
cost-effective solution - IF it works.
