2000 – I’ve been using MenuChoice 2.1 for ages, probably going back to the System 7.1 era (1992-94).

For some reason, it doesn’t want to run RAM Doubler, so I have virtual memory set to 96 MB to provide enough memory for Photoshop, FrameMaker, Netscape Communicator, GraphicConverter, and the other memory hungry applications I run regularly.

The current version works transparently, allowing you to simply install it and forget it on any Mac running System 7 […]
