Har har har har.
Here's something shamelessly stolen from alt.folklore.computers:

10 REM Windows 95, Copyright (c)1985-1995 Microsoft, Inc.
20 REM
30 REM Setup maximum number of 32 bit apps that can run at the same
40 REM time. This was going to be 640k but Bill G. said no one would
50 REM ever need that many.
60 REM
70 MAXNUMAPPS = 8
...
10210 IF NUMAPPSRUNNING > MAXNUMAPPS THEN GOTO 50000
...
50000 END
