Dear Alan,

Yes - that's fairly typical for me too.
One occassion when more would have been nice was when I was playing pop music 
videos off CD singles.
I found they played better off RAM disc (plus it reduced the heavy use of the 
Iyonix hard drive) so the bigger the RAM
disc the longer the video I could park there.
On another occasion I was trying to find large quantities of prime numbers, and 
it was simplest to have as much RAM as
possible.
I think if programmers knew that every RISC OS user had 512MB (or 1GB) we'd end 
up using it, but as many RISC OS users
still use RISC PCs with, say 32MB, we still tend to work towards that....
Regards,
Martin.
