  12. Anyone know why it is that Macintoshs' RAM memory seems to be gradually eaten
  13. up when applications are ran? That is, why is that when I first start my Mac
  14. I have x amount of memory available, and then after running a few applications
  15. and quiting them I always have (x - some) lesser amount of memory available. It
  16. seems like the programs chew up some extra memory that cannot be recovered
  17. even after the programs are no longer in memory. What gives?
