Try making a swap file on your friends calc, it could hold however much of
your RAM you needed to clear out to load (and directly run) an image of that
program. Afterwards the contents of your memory could be automatically
replaced. Anything run over the wires directly would be horribly slow, even
if it was just for RAM usage.

More like a RAM drive, it's been done on the TI-92. If I find the address
again I'll post it.
