How very odd... first you tell me that I'm confusing RAM and disk space...
and then you write *precisely*  the same thing I was relaying with slightly
different words. Exactly how then was I confusing anything???  Seems to me
your second note would have been more appropriate as a response than your
first... which is completely in error, and/or rather "confused" itself.

Here it is, in case you missed it..

You don't make that many 100% blunders... so I thought it important to keep
the record straight.

So, as I was saying... and as I was told on the phone by SCO       ... The
entry level 6.0 O/S *has* a spec for memory in it... 4Gb as a matter of
fact, as I originally noted. Confused is such a good thing NOT to be.
