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.



it'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...


It'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!
