- There is the problem that sometimes AD moduals do not release the memory
- back to the system as they should and because you are running them random
- every modual that runs is like loading another program and after a period
- of time can actually load the system down to where when the next modual
- attemps to load the is not enough memory to load and because the machine
- is in blank mode often there is not even enough memory to bring the screen
- back for you to know that this is what is going on. My suggestion to you
- is that if you are going to be leaving the machine for extended periods
- of time pick one modual and run it instead of randomizer.
