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. <Lex>
