Every time I go to my local computer club meeting and some of the
younger people (14-18) see what I render in a month, they assume
my system is pretty gargantuan. 
It always surprises them when they find out I've got as much memory 
as them, 2M chip 4Mfast, and their software (like imagine3) tells
them politely to buy more mem or bust.

Without failing it is always the same problem, when I mosy over
to their computer, 8 or 16 color magicWB's glare at me. What
posesses these people to waste anything from 0.5 to 1 meg on
backdrops, noises and fance system patches(sensless colored
pull down menus). It's no wonder half their software doesn't
run anymore, it lookes like they're running bloody windows95
for crying(out loud).

So the first thing I fixed has nothing to do with that
take a look in your ramdisk after startup using a file-
manager (like Dir-opus), what's there: AAARGH (yes?).
So I loaded in my startup-sequence and assigned ENV:
to use sys:prefs/env-archive/ as a dumpsite instead
(that is where it gets it's junk in the first place).

The second thing is to use (and live with) a 4 color WB a sad
thing indead but my Eric-Schwartz'-Squirrels-on-Intel-outside-
logo-bench more than makes up for this and my toolbar reads
2000000+ chip and 4000000+ fast every time.
