Disk doesn't beat memory, but Forth virtual memory is neither more nor less
constrained to use disk than firmware based virtual memory is. That is,
Forth can have lots of buffers in other memory before ever rolling out to
disk - and vice versa, firmware based virtual memory also has to roll out to
disk when it runs out of real memory. So Forth isn't handicapped for having
explicit virtual memory. PML.
GST+NPT=JOBS
I.e., a Goods and Services Tax (or almost any other broad based production
tax), with a Negative Payroll Tax, promotes employment.
See http://users.netlink.com.au/~peterl/publicns.html#AFRLET2 and the other
items on that page for some reasons why.
