It was quite a while ago that I forget how much experimenting I did, versus
just reading on it and doing it. I did use a RAM meter in Mac OS Classic
that showed how the Ram was being used. Also, A hint to this is the fact
that, in the "About This Apple" window, you might have A LOT of apps
running, and you conceivably could have fragmented your RAM by booting these
MANY apps and say, quitting every OTHER one. You may have lots of Ram
"free", but it's the LARGEST UNUSED BLOCK that is the biggest chunk of all
the fragmented free Ram that your Mac can use. That's why About This Mac
reports the largest unused chunk of RAM.
