Fer crying out loud, people, System 7 IS NOT EQUAL TO virtual memory!

The answer to a memory crunch is to buy more RAM... it's cheap. 
System 7 addresses multitasking, publish/subscribe paradigm,
significant user interface goodies, built-in file share, and lots 
more.  ALL of that runs without a PMMU.

Virtual memory is a boondoggle devised in the days of Sculley's
expensive RAM blooper.  It'll be nice to have it there as an occasional
stretch-the-envelope thing, but if you wind up using it every day, BUY
MORE RAM.
