Thank you Frank,

I just bought another Emate on Ebay that comes with a 4mb upgrade.
I installed the Piechart.pkg to try and figure out how much Internal Storage
I have - it says 85% used, but I'm still a bit confused as to what is what.
Anyway, as with most things when I fill it up - I'll Know!

BTW what is this "freezing" packages thing I have read about. Is this a way
to keep Pkg's from loading into memory until needed?
