RE: 64-bit

I'd say imagination is irrelevant here. I (you) can surely imagine a lot,
but until we are given a comprehensive set of tools (APIs, functions,
methods) to navigate the 64-bit space, we (I agree on this point) are doomed
to stay 16-bit animals dreaming of the open spaces but gravitationally
chained to the mother Earth. With 3rd generation languages we most
definitely are.

address space is like money and sex, you can't get too much.
Our (your?) imagination what you can  do is still 16-bit.
