    So where'd they cram that extra Meg of RAM in?

    They are just basing it upon what the ram counter or windows says instead of what is really there. Now, you and I know there are 128mb but he/she don't.

    I see this at work all the time. "User has 63mb or 65mb of ram." I just kind of shake my head.
