I run a 4Meg computer, and use about 1-1.5 Megs of it for TSRs and 
ACCs, like UIS III, NVDI, Serial Fixes and Jar10 !!

I used to have a 1Meg ST, with no HDD, upgrading allowed me to get rid 
of the bootdisk, and not have to worry about only having 5 progs in 
the auto folder.

Having said all this, the number of times I've need all 4Megs is not 
very often, maybe more useful on a Falcon, but I think 2.5Megs is 
about all you REALLY need !

ATb.
