don't forget that most operating systems have memory protection and 
virtual memory managers. so an address in one process is invalid in 
another process (at least it is not required to point to the same 
physical memory location).

so be careful when using System.Address.

also i'm not sure using System.Address is a good programming practice, 
unless you are talking with an application implemented using a 
"low-level" language as C. you may consider creating a message type.
