  18. Not quite. It costs 512K of RAM, and I suspect many people
  19. still using AmigaOS 1.3 will have only 512K or 1MB RAM installed,
  20. making soft-kicking 2.04 either impossible or impractical.
  21.  
  22. Then there's the on-disk 2.04 software. A soft-kicked system
  23. won't get far when an application asks for the commodities
  24. library.
