This is an amusing juxtaposition.  Greg, please see any good computer-science
dictionary and encyclopedia for the *modern* meaning of "virtual memory".
What it was considered to mean twenty years ago is not relevant; that's a
very long time ago in this field.  The meanings of words are defined by how
they are used, not by how they used to be used.
