Not really related, but the feeling of elation when I alloc'd 1M of RAM in OS/2 and it _didn't_ swap changed me. This was on a 386sx with 8M RAM and it was pretty much all the available memory after the OS was loaded and settled down. A MILLION BYTES!! Didn't do anything with it, but still, after DOS and EMS/XMS memory and all the other falderol of managing memory. (At the time, it was also the only x86 OS that would format a floppy drive without bringing all the other threads to a crawl. UI was still available-ish, BiModem was still BiModeming... |
