In the other OS's there are 'things on disk' and 'things in memory'.  A
programmer must take some action to move things between disk and memory.  In
OS/400 there are just 'things in store'.  Whenever a program changes data,
the programmer does not have to worry about saving it to disk, because that
is transparant.  Of course things are moved between memory and disk, but for
the programmer the addresses stay the same.
