Hi - I've been using Memory Monitor just to see how my memory was being used in OS 10.3. According to the little chart, most of my memeory is showing as "inactive" and a smaller amount is "free", even when I've closed most of my apps.

Can somebody tell me the difference? I assume I am not running low, as I have 768 MB RAM and things function well even with a lot of apps open. I'm just curious about the difference.
