I never did understand all the fuss about Visicalc. I preferred Multiplan.

It is possible to clean up memory without rebooting.
When I get intensive with PS for some time, it eventually gets sluggish and
there is too much cache activity. I then
close it and run the memory defragment piece of System Mechanic. In addition to
always freeing up a few GBs of memory,
it reorganizes it. Back into PS and everything is copacetic again.
PS, memory leaks? No, of course not! :-)
