You know, this is just like overbooking on airplanes.  You don't notice
when you benefit from it (you get to buy a ticket and fly even though
the plane was sold out), but for sure you notice when it goes against
you (you aren't allowed on the plane because everyone else turned up
too).

With a computer you also have backing store (swap), which means that
when the plane starts getting full, sleeping passengers are quietly
shifted to a donkey cart :)

Ciao,

Duncan.
