The new HyperCard (HC) and Multifinder are great (although I have only seen
articles about Multifinder).  However, I have heard and read that to be able to
use them concurrently (without problems), you need 2Mb of RAM!  Now if this is
true I see a problem since the Mac SE comes only with 1Mb RAM.  Depending where
you go (or KNOW where to buy hw/sw) a person who buys an SE will be forced to
spend from ~$500-$800 more for a 2Mb upgrade (and installation fees at Apple
dealers cost an additional $50-$65)!

I submit to Apple that they may have painted themselves into a corner.
Why?  Because no sooner have they introduced hot new products (Mac SE & II)
that people are buying up faster & faster; then they introduce two pieces of
software (HC and Multifinder) that although they come with the Mac package for
immediate use, they CAN'T be used easily with the system because the default
1Mb RAM is not fully sufficient.

This may suddenly discourage a lot of potential Mac SE & II buyers, and thus
reduce Apple's sales.

Possible solutions for Apple are to prepare and release (real soon) an
HC & Multifinder that will run well on 1Mb, OR begin selling Macs WITH 2 Mb!

These are my opinions.  What do the rest of you think?  Do any of our fellow
netters from Apple have any comments?
