In my experience, only a few users know the difference between RAM and 
disk in the first place, and use "memory" to refer to either.

Recipe for frustration: explain to a novice user exactly what the diff-
erence between RAM and disk is.  Now that they've got it good and clear 
in their minds, explain virtual memory. -- Joe
