If I recall, the early Macs did the software equivilent of virtual memory.
When you allocated memory you got back a pointer to a pointer of memory, and
you always had to reference through this indirect pointer to access the
memory, since the Mac (when the OS portion ran) could (and would) move
memory around.
But did not the EARLY Mac's assume you would never need more than 128K.
TOTAL in the machine! And that is the only size they made!
