At the risk of re-opening an old debate, the PDP-11 \does/ have virtual
memory.  It's just that, for various technical reasons, the original Unix
implementation for it chose to use swapping instead of paging as its virtual
memory technique.

Yes, it's a nit, but the PDP-11 is a fine machine, and deserves to be
remembered correctly.
