Keywords: Align type PAGE

I was flipping through my Microsoft MASM manual (I'm trying to learn
80x86 ASM), and I noticed an align type PAGE (256 byte alignment).
What I want to know is, WHY?  I can understand why you would align
something on a byte, a word, or even a paragraph, but why on this
architecture an alignment this coarse?  Can someone enlighten me?

Thanks,
Tad
