   Hooray for VM.  Those who enjoy the MacOS environment but use memory
   intensive software (mathematica, maple, etc.) have been praying for
   something like this to come.  I have a IIx with 8MB ram and am constantly
   running out of memory.  Now all I want to know is when can I get my
   greedy little hands on a beta version....


Sorry to burst your bubble, but the maximum amount of RAM (real +
virtual) is still 8Meg.  Since the applications share a single address
space and the ROMs (in your machine, not Pluses) are addressed
starting at 8Meg (and going up), the only space for RAM is below 8Meg.

"Master, why is the letter 'i' the symbol for current?"  "Because there is
no letter 'i' in the word 'current'."  "Master, why do we use the letter
'j' for sqrt(-1)?"  "Because we use the letter 'i' for current."  Whereupon
the Master struck the Disciple, and the Disciple became enlightened.
