I have a quick question about GSOS.  Maybe I have missed earlier conversations
on this topic, but I have only had a GS about 6 months so bear with me.

Why is it necissary for the GS to load Desk accessories into memory?  Not only
does this slow down the boot process dramatically but it also takse up
valuable memory.  I have a meg and a quarter like most everyone and had been
able to find things I couldn't do because of memory limitations when I had one
DA.  Now I have about 5 and it is a major cutback on available memory.  

This just seems to be an idiotic waste.  Can anyone come up with a logical
reason why the DA's can't be loaded only when they are needed and one at a
time?????
