This was my thought as well. But if you can afford several TB of ROM you can probably afford to increase your RAM to 4MB.

- emn13 14y agoit's not TB of ROM. It' much, much more: 2^(2^20) addresses... Even if you're faking it and the addresses aren't real (inevitable with those numbers), you're still just cheating and storing data in a multi-megabyte dynamic (not ROM!) program counter. After all, you need to distinguish all those addresses...
- mikeash 14y agoIt's not cheating! If they wanted to limit the size of the program counter then they should have specified a limit on the amount of code!
