Not quite sure if 64bit Windows is the norm yet. It should be the future but there does need to be more 64 bit window applications available. Maybe the developers of other applications still see the huge number of 32-bit machines as too large a carrot. I'd choose a 64bit application if given the choice though. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] For additional commands send email to [email protected] with Subject: help
