I am a relatively new Macintosh owner, and in the past few months a number
of questions assembled themselves in my head. Some I could answer by
reading this newsgroup, some I eventually figured out, and some still
haunt my dreams. Over the next few days I want to post several of these
questions. If they have been discussed before, my apologies. If they
are stupid RTFM questions I also apologize. In any case, I would appreciate
any answers the net can come up with. For instance:

Why, when copying files, does the Mac not fill up as much memory as possible?
Under MultiFinder, I can understand; but when I am running the finder on my
SE/30 with 4 Mb and system 6.03, it switches about 4/5 times between 
reading/writing if I copy a floppy to the hard disk. I don't like that very 
much. Why does it happen, and is there anything I can do about it?

Thanks in advance,
