  Just to put your mind at ease here...16mb on a VAX processor is very
reasonable...The VAX is a highly-CISC machine, and as such, it's very
memory-efficient.  I've found that, under normal operating conditions,
16mb on a VAX acts more like 24mb or maybe even 32mb on a SPARC or
other common RISC processor.  For normal applications, 16mb should be
quite reasonable.  More is, of course, always better, but you
shouldn't feel pain without it. :-)

  Ach...Use emacs, man!  It's even got a new command..."M-x improve-sex-life".
How can a guy go wrong?
