> The difference between AppDisk and most other ramdisk programs

> AppDisk gets the memory for its disk from its own application
> memory. Most ramdisks take memory away from your total system memory
> when you start up, so you can't get that memory back without
> restarting. To get the memory back with AppDisk, all you have to do
> is quit the AppDisk program or remove the ramdisk from your desktop
> by dragging it to the trash.
