I don't need to see my name in print.  If you did a Google search on me you would come up
with THOUSANDS of hits on my name.  You might even find I worked with Jeff Cobb of SETI on a
FireWall issue last year or so.

The answer is a poor excuse because the problem IS mitigated by the settings I provided for
Win9x/ME and once done the OS in question will run *very well*.  Going from .5GB to 1GB will
neither speed up SETI nor slow SETI down.  Win9x/ME was touted as having the max. RAM of
2GB.  Unfortunately, the bugs in the OS and other limitations drop this down to 1GB.

If you have problems with Win9x/ME with RAM between .5GB and 1GB and have the SYSTEM.INI
settings I provided then I suggest posting to an appropriate Win98 or WinME Microsoft News
Group such as:   microsoft.public.windowsme.general    Place "Attn: Mike Maltby" in the
subject.
