As far as memory (storage) references go, "Above" and "Below" can easily be perceived and defended either way, although *I* would usually take "Above" to mean higher addresses (cf. "above-the-line'). By context, I guess the opposite was meant, probably by projection of a dump or most memory displays. Anyway, the terms, they are ambiguous.
I think "Before" and "After" are much clearer. sas On Fri, Jul 22, 2016 at 4:35 PM, J R <jayare...@hotmail.com> wrote: > Of my vast collection of laptops, I use only the most recent two.
