1.  Run A/UX and not worry much about swapping.

2.  Under Mac OS 6.x, very little beyond running a 12 MB RAMdisk (which is
    not in itself such a bad idea).

3.  When System 7.0 hits the streets ,and software houses get their act
    together and provide 32-bit clean applications, the extra memory
    will make MultiFinder quite happy.
