Say I buy some new 32bit ROMs after finally having convinced management, that
lots of memory (VM or not) is great for geographic mapping projects, but
they'll only let me buy three sets of ROMs for installing in Mac-1, Mac-2
and Mac-3. Three weeks later I'll spend 1/2 hour every day, explaining a
student why s/he can't work on Mac-4 with the map s/he created yesterday
on Mac-3!
