FYI, several years ago, Tiger Direct's catalog said:

      "We tried out Softram ourselves - what an incredible
      difference it makes! We installed Softram in our Tiger
      lab 486 after having beta-tested Windows 95 without
      it - and found that we could run even more applications,
      and at greater speeds, than with Windows 95 alone....
      Rick Catarineau, who heads up our lab, called it 'One
      of the most effective - and cost-effective - solutions
      to the memory-gobbling demands of today's most sizzling
      32-bit applications. I'd recommend Softram to anyone,
      hands down."

The only problem was, Softram turned out to be a totally fraudulent
piece of software that did nothing, according to PC Magazine (11/7/95),
Time (11/27/95, p. 81), and the New York Times (10/10/95).   In other
words, either Tiger Direct was either extremely careless in his
testing, was fooled by someone, or outright lied.
