Wrong and please someone kick him off TeamB. These threads
are long because of TeamB members now. Opportunity costs
ring a bell!!!

Wrong again. What is a considerable number. Is 200 Million
a considerable number. If you use Jakes numbers, that is
how many 64bit machines should be out by the end of 2006.

No they won't. But they will continue to buy new computers
because that is what people do. And if there only choice is
a 64bit computer that is what they will buy. Who said
anything about them going out and buying 64bit computer just
to buy a 64bit computer????

What is wrong with you?

I am speechless that one person could put so much made up
information into one post. You really should drop off of
TeamB. You don't deserve the moniker.
