Andre--

see this conversation about enabling quickstarter

http://markmail.org/message/bjoks73rwt7jp6gr

Apparently, there was some concern that we weren't consistent with

platforms (though I was dissenting on this).

Use Options -> Tools -> Memory to disable it.

(Also some discussion about making this more "user friendly".)
