I have a weird problem now with 1.3.  With a 512K 1000 and 2 floppies, I
figured I din't have enough memory to have everything I wanted made
resident, but when my machine ran out of memory while loading Access!
during the startup sequence, instead of just giving me a guru or telling
me I'm out of memory, the screen just went blank (in the background color
I was using at the time) and hung.  When I did the three finger salute, I
got the Kickstart hand!  Why would running out of memory cause a hardware
reset (isn't this the only way in software to wipe out WCS?)?  Is Access!
known to do strange things when running out of memory?
