In article <4858@louie.udel.EDU> you write:
> xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (paging to an optical disk? right.) xxxxxxx

	I think this critisism is a bit unrealistic. There are thousands
of Sun and other workstations out there that do paging over the
ethernet at an effective rate of 100k per second. The specs on the NeXT
optical disk say it does 1mb reads and 400k writes per second throughput.
It ought to do just fine.
