We have a MacII with 8 meg here at work, and seem to be able to use 8 meg. My macII at home has 1 meg and I can use 1 Meg. I may not be catching something in your explaination of the problem, but it all seems quite fishy to me. I am interested in your growing pains with your MacII, could you elaborate? I am sure the MacII owners out there would like to avoid any potential pitfalls we are unaware of... BTW: Isn't a SE + a Hypercharger + extra memory about the same price as a MacII with a color monitor? Just wondered why people went that route (aside from the "the SE is quite portable, the II isn't" argument, I can QUITE understand that one). -------------------- Ken Wallich *My views are mine, and mine alone* Consultant "Slimey?
