Hi,
  Now that I finally own a hard drive, I have had a couple of problems come up.
The first is that I forget where it was that I put files, if I haven't used them
for a while.  Does anyone know of a file finder, preferably in the form of a DA?
The second problem has to do with DAs, in that I find myself with too many of
them, and I end up with not enough of my 1040's 1 meg to run certain things.
Now, I know I could take the sensible approach and simply reboot without all
the DAs, but where's the fun in that?  Therefore, I am seeking ways of
increasing how much memory I have (well, actually how much the computer has,
but be that as it may).  I might get an upgrade for my ST, but I am also 
thinking about getting a STe instead, since simms are so much easier to use.
I know some software will not run on the STe, but I was wondering if anyone
could give me more info on this, since I would hate to get the extra memory
and then find that a lot of PD software, games, don't run on it (I am assuming
that those are the kind of things that might have trouble?)  Also, has anyone
tried hooking up PC-ditto2 (the hardware version) to an STe?  Or does the
software version wor 
Any help/info would be greatly appreciated.
