I like the KISS principle; KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID Why bother with 64 bits of anything if a good, hearty 8 will do? It's all marketing. All this "64bit" stuff and all. Too much bother. Sounds like something JoeHill would dream up; "Hey! I smoked something like really honkers and I figured out how to play solitare with 512k encryption running on a rendering farm of 1024 Itanium based PC's with 1gb of RAM per each CPU - it's like, really cool man...Freecell flies..." Bah, humbug. I'd even settle for 4-bit... stephen kuhn - owner ============================== illawarra computer services a kuhn media australia company http://kma.0catch.com ------------------------------------------------------------------ * This message was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer * We expressly refuse to utilise Microsoft DRM encoded documents ------------------------------------------------------------------ Never trust an operating system. -+-+-+-+-+-+-+- Business Computer Projects - Disclaimer -+-+-+-+-+-+-+- This message, and any associated attachment is confidential.
