I think the suggestion was to take an old amd64 machine out of the waste stream, and put the existing 32-bit machine into the waste stream, so that the total amount in the waste stream remains the same but you no longer need software support for the 32-bit machine. How to get access to the right parts of the waste stream to be able to pull out some working 64-bit hardware is another question, and one where I don't have an answer that wouldn't involve spending money (which would presumably make the proposed alternative insufficiently comparable, since presumably you wouldn't have to spend money to keep the existing 32-bit machine in service). If Andrey does, I'd be interested to learn it. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
