Of course, System 7.0 virtual memory will probably not be the only way to
get virtual memory. I'm pretty sure that Connectix will find the upgrade
market large enough to go to the trouble of writing a version of Virtual
for these machines. This will allow up to 15MB of virtual RAM on these older
machines.

If Connectix will not do it, someone else will.
