I can say exactly the same about people who defend setting their minimum system specs higher than they need to be. As soon as most developers get their hands on a new piece of hardware, all of a sudden they think no one else should be using anything less, no matter how useful or widespread the lower-end stuff may still be. And that's been going on for ages as well. > > If I'd use your comments during my next business meeting > we'd all have a good laugh.

If they even exist...this sudden grab for professionalism seems quite contrived considering the arrogance of your original post: "Therefore 32-bit compilers are just wasting my time," Take a minute to think first the next time you want to jump in and tell a group of people that their compiler is wasting your time. > > it was the guy who is tweaking software, so a bunch of > computers can survive their replacement by a year or two. > That's exactly my point. There are plenty of 32-bit systems out there that are perfectly useful, but then people like you go around waving a "32-bit is antique, support for it is useless" flag. And now you suddenly turn around and try to defend your disregard for an older piece of hardware...for the sake of hardware longevity? What?
