I tried to respond privately to an email reply to my post but AT&T seemed to block all my emails (see bottom of post for details) so I will post here keeping the sender anonymous (hope s/he doesn't mind).

Most days I can't even get my head around having 8 x 1024 x MB of RAM in a laptop.

All that said, I don't think it would be a big ask for Apple or the apps to keep just a little bit of code in active memory to indicate they are alive and to be able to respond to Quit from the Dock. Cheers, Ashley. -- Not sure why AT&T blocked my email: > 553 > 5.3.0 flpd120 DNSBL:ATTRBL 521< XXX.YYY.ZZZ.AAA I check DNSBL.info and all seemed ok for my server. I do run a mail server but I don't believe it is black-listed. I do host a few domains and post emails with addresses from those domains. I also post emails directly from a few other domains (e.g. .mac.com) but the mail was blocked from those email domains I do host as well.
