Give me a break.  Maybe (maybe!) 32 bits of address space wont be big
enough for some applications in a few years, but that hardly means that
you won't be able to do anything useful with a smaller address space.

Quite a lot of people manage to get serious work done on machines
with the good old 64K address space.  I guess they don't know that
they are using useless programs.
