The other day I went to a Staples (right across the street from me) to look
at a new printer. My HP Laserjet 4L that I bought in the mid 90's finally
kicked the bucket!

While I was there I asked for a ballpark price to upgrade the ram on my
*ancient* machine from 256mb ram to 2gb.

Basically, I got into a "mild" arguement with the clerk about how much ram I
needed.

I left the store with a new laser printer.

A lot of confused users have referred to Excel 2007 as Excel Vista. I
wonder if Joe has this misconception. I doubt you could buy a new computer
with only half a gig of Ram.

If Vista is crashing, perhaps if you ask in that group, then they can

512mb of RAM is not sufficient to run Vista, let alone open a 20mb
spreadsheet.
