Hi Robin,

RH> From: Robin Hueskes <robinh@knuut.de>

RH> Hello John

>> That is true but that is not what J.G. is saying. I have asked the same

>> patch that is loaded but 2-3 megs????

RH> OS 3.5 is an update to be a 'little bit' up to date ... It's quite
RH> common to us emore ram ... There is no new ROM so all the magic have
RH> to happen with RAM ... There are a lot new libraries which all do new
RH> tricks ... Or are looking a little bit better ... (or not... I hate
RH> asl :) Why is it that 'bad' ?

Here we go again. Where did I ever say it was bad? Please follow the whole
thread. I know there are new things. I would expect a bit more RAM usage. I
simply asked if anyone else had seen this.

I experienced a problem with StackAttack using a whole bunch more RAM under
3.5+BB1 than 3.1 or plain 3.5. So I asked if anyone else had seen a
different usage in general.

Maybe something else I am running had the same effect, using more RAM. So,
I asked to try and save some testing time.

RH> Nobody loose RAM ... it's still on your board ... And now your
RH> computer makes a use of it ... ;�
