At the time I began working at UCLA's Campus Computing Network its
S360/91KK (KK is 4MB) was one of the 3-4 dozen largest, fastest
computers in the world.  Considering all the work that got done
on IBM S/360 OS/MVT mainframes, all of which were 4MB or less--the
architecture placed a 16MB limit on addressability--one wonders why
one needs a 1GB DIMM.  Even those days we were complaining that with
all that memory programmers seemed to use it wastefully.  330K for
URSA, 270K for RJS, and so it went.
