Off topic blurb...
The funny thing is that I actually have had and worked on machines at or lower than 256K RAM. There were some pretty good games with pretty good graphics in the 1980's on my old Commodore 64 (64K ram). I'm not even going to mention a 20K computer I used to have. I'm sure showing my age. If there is one thing I have noticed with computers is that software is now bloatware. The size of software grows with the size of storage, but the software does not get proportionally that much better. There is no regard for software size and consumers don't make it an issue either; they just buy bigger and faster harddrives. I can remember using word processing software that was literally MILLIONS of times smaller in file size (KB vs GB; after adding up all those dll's and such, it's easy to be over a GB of execuatables) than current software and I somehow managed to pump out paper with it; but it was not MILLIONS of times less capable. I remember optimizing programs to save BYTES here and there in order to squeeze more lines of program into the machine. We'll save the punch-card stories for another time.
=======================
So as to not hijack this thread, is there anyone else who is experiencing out of memory errors? And what was the cause/fix? I sure don't know what is causing this problem.
