Of course, when Apple releases an OS that uses paged memory and can
address as much memory as the CPU will allow, I think that virtual
memory will be an intrinsic part of that System (as well as, eventually,
interprocess communication and all the other bells, whistles, and
buzzwords that avid readers of MacWeek have been saturated with these
past several months).  At that point, Connectix must come up with
a better mousetrap.

One man's opinion...
