I think people want 8MB upgrades just because that is the highest they can get, not because they need it. People expand their machines to silly levels all the time just because they can, its fun to do it, and some for bragging rights.
There is that, but there's a very practical use for large memory in an Apple II. I have some fairly large AppleWorks files (databases and word processors), and with 4- and 8-meg of memory I can work on several of them at the same time. Can't do that with 1 meg--matter of fact, AppleWorks 5.1 is a kludge at only that size, even tho it can run on it. Your desktop is limited with a small amt. of memory!
