- They probably wanted to do more at the same time or they use programs
- that require more RAM. You can easily use up the RAM with a paint program.
-
- This shows that 2MB aren't sufficient for many things. However, they are
- sufficient for running the network software, browser and other tools and
- that's why 2MB for the Surfer are reasonable.

-
- I didn't imply this. This should just illustrate that you cannot simply
- translate RAM usage of PCs to the Amiga.

-
- Yes. Still DM 1000,- more than the Surfer.
