There are operating systems that do have the ability to use an unlimited
amount of memory and can use disk space as memory also. They call this
vertual memory systems. DOS = Disk Operating System and is a markup
language to operate a disk drive, but is now evolving into a language all
it's own. I wonder if this is a good idea? I wonder if it is really a good
idea that we have created so many computer Languages? Why didn't we just
pick one and then enhance it over and over? Sort of allowing it to evolve
into an all purpose language. This would have made computing so much
simpler for everyone, NO?

That's a good thing I think. For one thing maybe all of the software can
be made to write correctly to the screen for screen readers and speech
synthesizers. Another worthy pursuit might be to make freedos
advantageous such that it wouldn't matter how much memory or disk space
was on a machine the operating system could use all of both if that's what
the installer needed.
