      From: joemonk64@gmail.com              "I wish to demonstrate the minor changes       that would have been required to the S/360 so that       we would never have arrived at a 31-bit black hole,       and we could have in fact had the perfect 32-bit       machine."              They were not "minor" changes. For example, the S/360 used core memory. How       much more memory (and hardware changes) would have been required to implement       32-bit memory as opposed to the 24-bit memory?              Joe              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
