Just one little remark..
Real mode is *a lot* more complicated than protected mode. With PM, you can
use a flat memory model and access all of your computer's RAM (up to 4 GB)
with just a 32-bit offset. Compared to the sluggish 20-bit segment:offset
pairs of real mode, this is like a dream come through..
