And what would you do with all that mem!?!?! LOL
I have a pocketcalculator with more mem than that.

I "lose" 12.5MB just booting my machine, and it's not basic at all, I
have lot's of things running in the background.

+ all the libs/datatypes and other goodies that
sucks mem

+ 16bit backdrop 1024*768
Kickrom remaped to ram

And 9 partitions with +200 buffers each

I'll bet I forgot something, but hey I think you get the picture ;))

I think 12.5MB to all of this is OK, but if H&P would/could do
some hokuspokus, so I could fit it in 4MB, I would'nt complain ;))

Try boot a vanilla system and the run avail, it will give you
a much nicer result I think.

PPL. keeps forgetting, every single program you start in your
ss/us eats a little memory, and it all adds up.



Best Wishes
