- It should be harmless to remove the standard cdev's provided
- by Apple, but they only use RAM when in use. Similarly, DA's
- and fonts shouldn't affect RAM use except when you're actually
- using them. INIT's, however, can affect RAM usage -- you may
- be able to squeeze a little bit more memory by removing Easy
- Access, and any screen saver or macro programs, etc...
