While working with the current beta release of Multifinder on a 2-Meg. Mac II,
I found that while copying diskettes (just a single floppy drive), the
Finder didn't read in the entire diskette at one time (800K diskette with about 
50 files), but caused me to do a couple of disk swaps.  Now while this isn't
really "terrible", considering that the Finder was the only "application"
funning at the time, and there was about 1.4Megabyte in the "largest
free block", it seems that it should have done everything at once.

Also, occasionally, for no good reason, it would give me a "not enough
memory" error and I'd have to reboot.

This isn't a complaint, of course, as this is Beta software, but a bug
report for you, Apple.  Overall, GREAT work!

(Now, if you'll only make it automatically preemptive...)
