That shows it as a percentage per process which is cool. But doesn't show
if there are any holes  or whether I am on the verge of virtual, but it 
hardly matters .
It's a wonderment to have a gig of ram.
I sympathise with the origianl writer's concern because I run OS9.1 on 
my play-machine and it was not giving back memory and I had to move the 
dimms around.
Apparently in OSX this is not an issue.
