OK - next question: is there a solution for 64-bit platforms which will
allow me to run a 32-bit and a 64-bit browser simultaneously?  I usually
have 40 to 50 tabs across 5-10 different windows open at once, and i
can't afford to stop running my 64-bit browser just to run a Flash site
in my 32-bit browser.
