So what's all the hubbub over 32-bit processors?  Aren't they slower 
than 16-bit CPUs in exactly the same way as 64s are to 32s?  It just 
take longer to assign anything and nothing needs the precision other 
than some specialized applications.  Besides, nobody needs more than 640 
kB of RAM...

*wink*
