Is this a side-affect of my un-explained desire to upgrade to the new
System??? I do not know why I upgrade... I do not notice any quantum
leaps in functionality. Sure I get more dialogue boxes and other
nice-ities... but I am beginning to wonder if this is all worth the loss
of memory that I am experiencing.
When I first got my Mac2, I was using the muti-numbered system
collectively known as 5.0. Then I could comfortably juggle 3 large apps
at one time in 2Meg. Large meaning MS Word, LSC, etc... I do not use
anything larger than those. When I went to 6.0 I started having memory
problems. I could not keep as many things going as I once could. It
varied from 2-3 apps simulataneously. NOW, with 6.0.4 I can only handle
one major application at a time! I might as well turn MF off and pick
up a little speed if I cannot switch apps.
Am I doing soemthing wrong?
Do I need to do something else?
Should I go back to 5.0? 1/2 :-)
Got an extra 4Meg laying around I could use?
PS: Lets see less cross-posting between the Macintosh newsgroups.
99% of the MacEnthusiasts read all three anyway...don't you!
