My first machine to program at IBM (in 1978): 3790, 256 page size, and only
one page of your program in storage: beware loops crossing page boundaries.
The program had the luxary address space of 3 (three!) 256 byte buffers.
Only 1 K storage required for each active program.
The good thing: 3790

You had bytes? We had to load individual bits... ;-)

Uphill? Both ways? Next thing you know,
http://www.drdobbs.com/dept/64bit/197801624 is a very interesting article about
how the CBE works. The fact that you've gotta do everything in 256K chunks
brings a smile to those of us who grew up with 1MB virtual machines and are
horrified at the size of current executables...
