Guido, I regularly run JFW, K1k, and whatever else is running, Outlook, Word, etc, with 128 Meg of ram. Granted I would like more, but it does work. The only time I get crankiness is if I scan a whole bunch of stuff with dynamic thresholding turned on. But of course if anyone happens to have a nice new computer sitting around which would like to find a new home I wouldn't be too proud to adopt... <lol> Kellie
