Hmmmmmm... I guess since they(IBM) did this almost 10 years ago 
with their entire product line(not pc's), they probably forgot 
that nobody has gotten started on the project.

(They did it MUCH earlier but we won't go into that)

Did Hector mention the little,teeny,tiny problem they were going
to have with the billions of lines of code written for 16/32 bit
machines ????? 

The last I had heard, very little of the code was written to the
32 bit compiler.

Did he mention that very little, if any of the existing code would 
ever run....
