J I think its a bit of a stretch to suggest that visitors of my blog are somehow part of an unofficial 64-bit club and follow my blog because of that. Out of 63 published posts on my blog only 3 even mention 64-bit, and one of those was an entirely passing reference. Of the other two, both (one of which being yesterdays) referred to the shift in priority away from 64-bit toward cross-platform, and both engendered an outcry in the comments that was largely expressing dismay. Even the first at which time I dont think my blog could sensibly be suggested had any reputation or following w.r.t a 64-bit bias.

Don't take this the wrong way, but the Internet is really good for drawing like people together more than people who disagree. All of the social networking concepts really encourage you to follow people who are like-minded - blogs, facebook, twitter, etc. I wouldn't be surprised that people who follow your blog want 64 bit more than cross platform. I have to agree with you on that though, I have seen much more of a demand for 64 bit than cross platform. But in NZ, we tend to be outliers rather than the norm. Malcolm is responsible for pretty much all of Asia/Pacific - so his territory covers NZ, Australia, India, Taiwan, Korea, China, South East Asia, Singapore and I think Japan. Thats a lot of differing opinion - and I suspect the growing number of Mac people in "real life" is contributing towards it. 2009/10/14 Jolyon Smith <jsm...@deltics.co.nz> Ø From what Malcolm says though Im in the minority. Im surprised but it wouldnt be the first time ;-). I would love to know where Malcom gets his numbers because the empirical evidence seems to contradict his figures starkly. For instance, among visitors to my blog, did all those people who thought that cross-platform is a better idea than 64-bit simply choose not to comment and point out the error in my thinking? Currently the comments are running about 12/13:1 in the exact *opposite* bias to that which Malcolms comments would have suggested I could expect. -- --- Richard Vowles, Technical Advisor Developers Inc Ltd web. http://www.developers-inc.co.nz ph. +64-9-3600231, mob. +64-275-467747, fax. +64-9-3600384 skype. rvowles, LinkedIn, Twitter
