I just bought a new hard disk (Jasmine, 40Mb) which came with a new version of system (6.0.1) and finder (6.2). In customizing my hard disk, I removed several fonts and one or two DA's from my system. Surprisingly, the amount of memory consumed by system when I click on "About finder" did not change. Why is this? What's the point of removing fonts and DA's if the system continues to consume the same amount of memory when loaded? What can I do to get this space back? Russell
