Hi Tim,

Thanks for sharing.  I'm sure I had this issue but it is long gone.

In the early to mid 70's I worked for a company that sold VM/CMS
timesharing on an IBM 350/158 (could have been 360, I can't remember for
sure) with 1 meg of ram.  It needed more memory but an additional 1 meg
cost $500.000.  That's right, 50 cents a byte.  Times have changed.

P.S.  Tim, I love reading your posts and I agree with 99% of what you have
to say.  We differ on little/big endian and I don't think I would be as big
a fan of RISC OS as you.  My early days of assembler language programming
(that I loved at the time) have left me with little love for doing things
the hard way.  Anyway, keep up the great work with the Raspberry and your
posts.
