- Some people think that, with 64bit CPU, there's no problem of
- address space shortage. Everything can be mapped into single
- address space. (Just everything, every process, entire file system
- or even practical size database as large as 100GB without on the fly
- pointer conversion.) They call such OS as "64bit OS".
-
- I like that idea, because current Amiga OS seems to be easily
- extended like that....
