Then why is it that only Voyager takes the system down with it? Other
programs I use just fail with an error message when they run out of
chipram.

Other programs avoid it somehow, I'll admit I don't know the
technicalities so it may be that it is not possible for V to do things in
the same way as others. Fixing this problem (and javascript) is the thing
I most want to be in the new version of V.

I would love to have a graphics card, unfortunately I can't afford to
spend 350, which is the amount I would have to lay out to attatch a card
to my A1200.
