Re: purging memory

The programmer's term is "garbage collection". Ideally a program will return the memory space to exactly the same condition after it quits as it was in before it was launched. Apple and Microsoft both took the easy (for them!) way and left it up to each program to do its own garbage collection. U

purging memory

This has been THE biggest problem with the Mac OS since day 1 - a memory leak. You have to quit the apps in the order they were launched and even THAT doesn't guarantee that you'll get your memory back. That's also why the Mac crashes so often. Thankfully OS X finally solved that problem. I reboo

Clearing out unused extra memory after closing IE 4.01 and/or OE 4.01

Folks, I notice that approximately 5MB or so of RAM does not clear out after I use IE 4.01 and/or OE 4.01. My Performa 550 has 36MB RAM, and should have about 28MB to 31MB RAM free, depending on how much MacOS 7.5.5 uses at a given time. 32 bit addressing is on, vir
