A few months ago I was at a clients and in the reception/waiting area was a PC Magazine that boasted on it's cover "64 bit computing.... The next GIH thing". It was dated something like Oct 2001. It is amazing that the "mainstream" computing press is so amazed with a technology that we have been used to for 5-6 years. But it is not the hardware that makes 64 bit possible, it is the OS. OS is so superior to M$, too bad IBM does not believe it. cjg Carl J.

It's been 64 bit for a long time. This system architecture are where Microsoft and Intel would like to be in 5 years. Unfortunately for them, when they get close, IBM will flip a few switches in the microcode and become a 96 or 128 bit system. Better yet, ALL of my programs will run the same day with no effort on my part. The "porting" will happen under the covers. I suggest you come to the COMMON conference in Nashville, April 14-18.

We might even be able to get you a press credential..... :-)) Paul Nelson Braxton-Reed, Inc. pnelson@braxton-reed.com
