 ================================================================
 QUESTION OF THE YEAR: WHY IS MY SYSTEM TAKING UP SO MUCH MEMORY?  (2.0)
 ================================================================

       If today Apple changed About this Macintosh (About the Finder
  in System 6) to report unusable memory in its own bar rather than
  lumped together with the system, this would probably still be the
  most frequently asked question of the year.  Under system versions
  earlier than 7.0 or under System 7.x without 32-bit addressing
  turned on the Mac cannot handle more than eight megabytes of real
  memory.  If you have more physical RAM installed, the Mac knows
  it's there but can't do anything with it.  When About the Finder is
  selected from the Apple menu, the system reports all the extra
  memory it can't use as part of the system memory allocation.

       To use the memory you need to get System 7 and turn on 32-bit
  addressing.  ...  If you're staying with System 6, Maxima from
  Connectix ($45 street) allows use of up to fourteen megabytes of
  real memory normally and can allocate anything beyond that to a 
  RAM disk.

I'm annoyed. Darn annoyed. First one upgrade, then another after another has switched to the 'Save/Don't save' form of standard dialog box, replacing
the simple, clear, 'Yes/No/Cancel.' So at first I had a special Quickey
for just those buttons...but then I discovered that SOME developers use
'Don't Save' (the S capitalized), some use the smart quote apostrophe...as
a result I have about six Quickeys that do one function--tell the Mac
that NO, I do not want to save anything. Wouldn't a simple 'No' have
sufficed? This is one place where the Apple User interface gurus have
overthought this one, big time. Just say 'No'!

Just to add to the chorus:

Mine has the same sort of symptoms, PLUS the additional feature of
providing a "Bus Error" notification from time to time. The latter is
accompanied by the one-choice option to restart. I *think* that my
SUM Shield is being activated, since when I click in the "restart" button,
the disks all whir for awhile. This all while running 7.01 without
tuneup or 7.1 [which won't accept my CD-ROM driver. sigh....]

You're in luck! I just asked the same question, and
I've got an answer. Thanx to Dave Johnson (johnson@wrs.com):

I have an extension that came bundled in a package called CarpetBag.
It does exactly what you want.  You can change keyboards on the fly
directly from a menu next to the Balloon Help button.  Dvorak, USA,
French, Konji, whatever your preference.

Is on mac.archive.umich.edu and on sumex-aim.standford.edu I believe.

Help help...  My intermitant problem with Quadras on a network has reared its
ugly head.   Here are the symptoms:

TeachText 7.0.1 crashes with a type 1 error.
Mathematica 2.0e crashes with a type 3 error.

This was not happening two days ago.  
I ran disinfectant 2.9 on the disk and found that it thinks the Mathematica RSC
fork is damaged or special or something.

Last time I fixed this problem by reinstalling TeachText and turning all the
inits off and back on.  I don't know why this worked.  It doesn't work now. 

My boss thinks it is because the machine is on the Network.  His solution is to
make it a stand alone machine.  I don't sense the MacTCP Network and shared
volumes is the source of this trouble.  I sense a Quadra PROBLEM and would like
to solve it and know why the trouble is happening.  Please oh Please could some
enlightened people clue me in.

It depends what your hardware config. is. With a stock IIci, you may see
measurable improvements in math performance when using Speedometer. I have
seen 50 percent improvements, with some faster screen redraws. Apparently
doesn't work if you have DayStar Power Cache cards installed.

Speedometer ratings for math go from 12 to more than 18+. As far as conflicts, I have seen none.

Caveat: There is no point in using Radius Math 1.5 with System 7.01, as these
tools already are a part of 7.01. I am using 7.1, and this is where I notice
the difference. You should also see a difference when using 7.0.  

Also: Radius Math apparently reduces the mathematical accuracy of your
machine; this will not work on any Mac with ROMs older than a IIci. A math
chip must be installed on board for this to have any benefit.

I've never seen Mac GIF files that have custom icons depicting a
miniature version of the images.  But you can easily do this with PICT
files of course, using AutoCompressor 1.3, freeware from the usual archive
sites.  It's really intended as a QuickTime PICT compressor, but it will
also do nice thumbnails (preview images stored in the resource fork for
use in the Standard File dialog box) and custom icons.  Therefore, if you
really want your GIFs to have custom icons, convert them into PICTs, use
Autocompressor to create icons for them and then paste the custom icons
back onto your original GIF images
