Funny, I just did a quick flythrough Futureshop to check up on my
statement.  Strangely enough, *every* new computer (that wasn't a
refurbished deal) had over 2GB of ram and comes with Vista 64-bit.  And
while several apps still are 32-bit, You can be sure they are tested to
work just fine on 64-bit os, and indeed, all drivers for new hardware
*are* made in 64-bit flavors...

Even Flash on Linux was first released in 64-bit version... 64-bit is
now the *default* of new systems.  at least, in my world.  Yours may
indeed be different... I hope you'll catch up with us here on planet
earth sooner than your 15 years predicted, however.
