   Hey, that actually works :-)   
      
   It didn't exactly double RAM, but it was lots of   
   fun to play with.   
      
   Connectix RamDoubler for the Mac.

   And the idea lives on, in W10 and W11 "Memory Compressor" process.   
      
   See, everyone makes fun of it, and when the third parties   
   stop doing it, the OS goes ahead and does it.
