Yes, I hope so too!  I'm curious to see if Leopard has
"top to bottom" 64 bit support for existing G5 processors,
it is possible since the G% is a 64 bit architecture - but
they also like to sell new machines... The new top end one
is very competitive with folks like Dell and HP - in fact,
significantly cheaper for the same configuration. Also,
they cut more than 25% from the price of their Xserver,
nice since it is also has the double dual core Xeon CPUs.

next OS X release, called "leopard", due in Spring '07. Apple's
web site says that it will have:

   64-bit addressing of up to 16 exabytes of
      virtual memory and 4 terabytes physical
   Full 64-bit arithmetic
   64-bit development tools, etc.

I hope that J can make use of this platform provide full support for the 64-bit arithmetic for Mac users.
