[TheForge] Merry Christmas everybody!

[Jerry Frost]

This is what I'll do when I can afford to upgrade the RAM. I'm a firm 
believer in: "It's better to have it and not need it than need it and not 
have it."

As it turns out I knew what "page file" is just not what it's called now and 
wouldn't dream of disabling it. I do too much CAD to take any chances. 
Besides the way programmers are going, pretty soon it'll take a couple gig 
for my signoff. <grin>
