Haven't you notcied that the price for a 1 MB RAM SIMM has fallen below $100? By the time System 7.0 is here it will probably be quite a bit less expensive. On the Mac more memory really saves time. Who's "THE REST OF US?" If you think it's the hobbyists who use the Mac strictly for fun and entertainment, you may have a point about not wanting to invest in more RAM. But if you use the Mac for work, you would be foolish not to invest a modest amount of money to get 2.5 or 4 MB, at least. And, by the way, compared to OS/2, System 7.0 will give you a whole lot more bang for the byte. Wolfgang N.
