System configuration: Mac SE/20, System 4.0. Trying out Finder 60a4 in conjunction with Juggler 1.0d1, I discovered to my dismay that Juggler had eaten up an extra 400K of my Mac's memory! It also needs the System Heap to be at least 128K. (Which reminds me, those rhymes are really silly!) Now, this doesn't leave much memory to run any really useful applications, unless you have 2+ MegaBytes of RAM dripping from your Mac... Can anyone explain this strange behaviour? Does Juggler need that amount of RAM, Larry? Anyway, it looks like Juggler gives Finder the potential of Servant's multiple application facility, with the DeskTop omni-present and a small icon at the right hand side of the menu bar. Also, when you drag icons, the outline is true (like Servant), the horrible bulging trash can has disappeared (yippee!!), and the About... now includes information on memory allocation. Desk Accessories are run through an application called "SysDAHandler" - I'm not sure why Apple did this, but their reasons will no doubt come to light "real soon now". Finder 6.0a4 is 90K in size, Juggler is 32K, and SysDAHandler is 4K. Oops, have I said something wrong?

When I throw away some stuff and then go off and work on something else, then come back, it reminds me that there is something there. Besides it looks alot like my real trash can out in the garage!
