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.

Larry,

You need to check out the AS/400 (ISeries/400 now) product line from
IBM. 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.
Register at www.common.org

There will be thousands of people willing to share the secret with you.
We might even be able to get you a press credential..... :-))
