Subj: REPLY TO MSG #1875 (RAMDISK MEMORY USAGE)

 Hi, Robert,
 
 Well, I've always suspected that computer memory is akin to nothing so much as
to restaurant math... both are peculiar environments in which numbers behave no
known laws of mathematics.
 
 Douglas Adams (author of "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" and other
treasures) coined the term "Bistromathics" to describe this phenomenon.  In his
twisted view of physics, Bistromathics is used as a source of inexhaustable
power for space vehicles.
 
 I guess you had to be there.
