Gee whiz, I thought that was the next cool great thing coming out with System
"if you thought you waited for 7.0"  8.0!  :->

So, will we have to wait for the 88k machines to get protected mem?  Or will we
in fact get it for the 68k Macs, but with the unfortunate side effect that the
OS won't seem exactly like the Mac anymore: cat README, etc.  :->
