While virtual memory may not be in the current Mac OS, you can certainly use
virtual memory with the addition of "Virtual" by Connectix.  We run Virtual
on most the Macs in my department (it is a must have for Mathematica).  I 
have 14M of virtual memory on my MacIIci. (I know it has a MMU, but the SEs
don't and they run it too)  While my Amiga isn't nearly the memory hog of
a multi-finder Mac (my IIci system is 2936K) it sure would be nice to have
virtual memory.  I'm hoping when I buy my next machine (A3000) that it will
eventually have virtual.  Anyone know if Amax on a A3000 can run Virtual???
