	After spending 20 years trying to work around the limitations
	of the 360 architecture and several on the 8086, I guess this
	time they decided not to take any chances this time. |-)

	If you extrapolate the trends for the last 4 or 5 years out
	to 1990 or so the more powerful personal computers will have
	16 megabytes of memory and gigabytes of disk storage. If you
	start thinking about the year 2000 then these limits are not
	ludicrous at all.
