I don't beleive I said 'none'  I said my system does not normally swap, perhaps  
that was not clear, but I mean that in operating most apps, there is normally  
no disk activity after the program and files have loaded.  There is, of course,  
no amount of ram that will fit a NeXT that will stop swapping completely.
