This is quickly becoming a Mac issue rather than a Flash issue. I'm quite

sure that a lot of people on this list, like myself, don't use Macs and

therefore do not benefit whatsoever from this thread. I don't have anything

against Macs so please withhold the "Mac-hater" flames. It's just that I

don't see how a RAM Doubler has anything to do with Flash. 


This list is noisy as it is, the last thing we need is to become a Mac

trouble-shooting forum. Please take you discussion of list and let's stick

to Flash related issues. I realize that this thread started off by Flash

crashes on the Mac, but it has turned into something else entirely.


Thanks
