My iPod has totally replaced all other forms of media (audio cd, radio,
etc.) in my daily life. It's been terrible the last few days. I am going
to actually have to burn a CD to listen to in the car until my pod gets
repaired! :(

In theory, as long as the swap space is provided, having low memory should
never lead to crashing - just slow things down.

You do not need a ram disk. There is a registry entry (can't remember what
it is at the moment) that will cause the kernel to stay in memory, which is
what I think that you want to do. In other examples I have seen, I believe
that the paging file is turned off also.

If you pay the same for a high-end HP as you did 2 years ago, you get a very
good printer. So, their $900-up printers are not bad to very nice.
The problem is, they are busy pitching >$440 "workgroup" laser printers that
are basically junk.
