By the way, Mac, a lot of the newer computers that I am seeing now, especially with Windows 7, *are* shipping with the 64 bit OS, which in my opinion, is a good thing. It will move us...slowly but surely...towards a 64 bit computing environ where more and more applications are native 64 bit, which will make things faster.

Rickie, I've been running 32 bit OS and applications on a 64 bit CPU for a few years now, and since about a year ago, I've been running 64 bit OS on two 64 bit CPU machines, and have yet to have any kind of issue. I'm running Vista 64, and am very happy with it, and can't wait to get my copy of Win 7 64 (which I have running in RC form on another computer). All my computes, including my 1.6gHz Atom netbook are going to Windows 7, and only the netbook will be a 32 bit OS, everything else goes to 64!

Yay! More speed!

I'm blessed watching God do what He does best. I've had a few rough years, and I'm still not back to where I want to be, but I'm on the way and things are looking far better now than what they were!
