> Oops, wrong list. > Obviously where I said x86 it should be amd64 :) Wow! Thanks for the clarification! I was /totally/ lost for a moment, as I simply couldn't follow your "assume you are running ~x86" thought process /at/ /all/! =8^) I'm very relieved to see it wasn't me going bonkers after all! It can be pretty distressing when words that normally have meaning, in a sentence structure that still has meaning, from a poster that usually knows what he's talking about, suddenly fails to make any sense /whatsoever/. Sometimes, there's a similar effect when I doze off at the computer and drift between dreaming and awake, and stuff from the dreams enters the semi-waking state and I realize it doesn't make sense but can't exactly say why... until I wake up. Actually, there have been a couple times I didn't realize something couldn't have /actually/ happened the way I /thought/ I remembered it, until later. Only I checked myself and I didn't /think/ I was asleep for /this/ one... unless I was dreaming the entire thing... So... yes, it's a BIG relief to find it wasn't me, and actually make sense of things again! You had me *VERY* mixed up, for a few moments. =8^) -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
