By the way, it takes my NT machine about 70MB just sitting there doing 
nothing with no user applications running.  Subtract 96 from 70 and you 
get 26.  That means you only have 26MB to run user applications.

You stated that "The manual states that 48MB is recommended".  I didn't 
know that.  If this is true, then 70MB + 48MB = 118MB, which is the 
recommended amount of memory for your particular machine.

If I were you, I would get at *LEAST* 128MB.  That's what I have at work, 
and I definitely don't run too many things at once and try swapping 
between each of them regularly or else I *STILL* get too much disk 
swapping.  It's okay to run lots of things -- just as long as they never 
get called upon to redraw (minimize what you don't use), or to run (don't 
switch to other apps or else JBuilder gets swapped out).

I hate it too.  If only we had Linux!
