Actually he's right.
I had a vic 20 and once booted youhad the messagge 3150 bytes free or something like that.
Not 5kBytes thats for sure.
Maybe in a later revision they added 2kB :rotfl:
If I had to guess, you had 5K total, but the OS ran in the top portion leaving you with 3150 bytes. Remember, the OS has to run in some portion of memory.
