Re: Memory Problems

And some people *really* want to know why I keep "hanging on" to
"outdated" UNIX systems that are the "things of the past"...?!?
Nuke the hard drive -- what on earth is that?
Reboot once a day or once a week -- are you kidding?
Reload all the software -- no way!
And what's a blue screen?

Thank God it's Friday! :-)
