  Go to Crucial [crucial.com] and load up while it's cheap. Heck, I have an iMac with a decadent 1 GB of RAM that I got for just a little more than $100!

  Also, ssh should work by default. Jarkko grumbles about the terminal app frequently but, hey, this is NeXT OS all over again just with more screen licking goodness! :) I still bear the scars from NetInfo....

    Ah, that's too much work. I'm off to PCs for Everyone [pcsforeveryone.com]. It has the advantage (I think--this is arguable) of being a block away. Don't even need to hop on the T, and I certainly don't have to wait. Waiting is bad! And at $17 for a 128M stick of used RAM (and I don't see a reason not to go used--semiconductors either work or don't) it's hard not to pork out both slots in the thing...

  did you upgrade to 10.1(.1)?
  
  ssh wasn't in 10.0.
  
  sshd should just be a checkbox in one of the settings; at least that's how I recall having enabled it.

    Yup, I started with 10.1, so it was there. I finally found the twiddly bit I needed to set to enable the thing. It was a pain to find, though. (Generally what I'd consider a Good Thing, except when it gets in my way... :)
    
    Ah, well, it beats having a zillion OS X boxes hanging around the net screaming "Hack Me!" to every skript kiddie on the planet.
