My point exactly-ish.

Before, the hw/sw couldn't do it so it was programmed around.

Now to squeeze more money from you, just the OS restricts you to force you to upgrade.

The same genious to work around should apply in either case, I am hoping.

In either case we don't need the OS to manage the memory, technically.

Thank you for your insight.

I've been trying to figure out what was up got a bit.
