- I am experience the same type of problems with 6.0. I have an AE
- GS Ram plus, and the old memory config was 3 megs. When I switched
- over to 6.0, I was getting "Finder needs at least 600K..." error
- message when returning from programs like WordWorks, Shrinkit GS,
- etc., and now I have 6 megs (the GS-Ram+ complete filled), and
- still getting the message once in a while.
-
- However annoying these errors are, a simple reset will cure this :)
- And I am not about to give up everything the 6.0 brings, FinderExtensions,
- new and improved Finder, new FST, etc. (thanks Andy, Matt and Dave, and
- all those other programers that I don't know about!)
-
- Maybe 6.01 will fix these errors.
