GRUMBLE GRUMBLE GRUMBLE!!!!!!!! I just replaced MacPaint & Macdraw with The new Claris products. Guess what. All I get out of either of them is a not enough memory to run message. Well, not quite all, I was prompted to personalize the software before I got the not enough memory message. The Apple versions of both ran when all I had was 128K. The Mac is currently a 512KE with Hyperdrive 20. If I upgrade my copies of MacWrite and MacProject, will I get more software that I can not run??? The Hyperdrive 20 uses some of my RAM as a perminate cache. According to my calculations, it will not die until March '89 (experiance from 2 previous Hyperdrive 20's dieing {extended warrenty is a wonderful thing when you have a product that dies at 1 year's use}). Around March I will remove the Hyperdrive and trash it (no more extended warrenty). Will the Fat MacDraw, and the fat MacPaint work on the Fat Mac - Hyperdrive? Did I waste my money??
