Thats an interesting statement considering only a few companies (Digital,
Sun..) even have a 64 bit processor and Intels is still on the drawing
board.  Not to mention how long it took Windoze to go 32 bit.  Windows 95
is a long way from 32 bitness and NT also has alot of 16 bit code.  Of
course the Mac has been 32 bit for years.....
