I have had v0.3 w/ the June11.image running on a Plus since last Nov.  It
requires the full (as near as I can tell) 1MB.  If you have the ram cache
on it will die.  You need to have the image and the interp in one folder and
if you haven't joined (see the utilities that came w/ ST) the interp pieces
together (and the image pieces) things will defintely bomb (I probably should
assume anyone w/ enough techie background to even have ST 0.3 is aware of
this, but just to be sure...).

This is supposed to be a pre-beta and Apple was supposed to have a new
version out for schools to use, but that's got to be a low priority since
it isn't a revenue generator and Paris and Alladin are probably consuming
most Macish talent @ Apple now.
