You seem to like to resort to the above sort of put-down when your point gets whacked away. 64 bit computing _does_ work for those programs that need 64 bit wide data words. At least for me. If you can't make it work for you, so be it. But don't project your shortcoming on everyone else. _some_ of us are having good success on 64 bit hardware. Some of us plan on continuing to enjoy the benefits of the next generation of the N-bit war...
