After spending 20 years trying to work around the limitations
of the 360 architecture and several on the 8086, I guess this
time they decided not to take any chances this time. |-)
If you extrapolate the trends for the last 4 or 5 years out
to 1990 or so the more powerful personal computers will have
16 megabytes of memory and gigabytes of disk storage. If you
start thinking about the year 2000 then these limits are not
ludicrous at all.
