   Those Microsofties sure are cards, aren't they? :)

I have maybe 12 services running. But I wonder what your
system would look like if you only had 2 GB RAM. I'm
not sure, but I'd guess that there's some accommodation
to use more if it's available and be more lean if RAM is short.
Though on mine right now I have New Moon open, as well
as Outlook Express, and the total RAM usage is about 1/2 GB.
200MB of that is New Moon. 2.7 GB free. A second NM
window only adds about 10 MB.

  I'm curious how much RPi4 uses. I'm assuming it's far more
lean than even XP.
