Why buy more than 1 M RAM.  I could get 2 more MEG for the Model
30 286, but why would I need it?   I believe it goes on the mother-
board.  I think it's expanded memory (but it's probably extended 
memory).  

What would it buy me?  Better Lotus someday?  Non LIMs lotus? 

Maybe, gee I could use bigger files?  Is this baloney.  What am I
missing?        

Thanks for any insights,

Greg Harrison
