Bill's diary, March 4 slate.com

This is pretty entertaining, but you have to read it for yourself. I only got to quote the 8/16/32 bit part, according to Bill Reuters messed the question up, as I suspected.

There was one kid, Luis, who asked how hard it was to port 16-bit apps to 32-bit apps. I thought that was a great question from an 11-year-old. I also explained to the students how Senate hearings work and what it was like in D.C.

Which makes Bill's answer, " software had to wait for the power of microprocessors to catch up" a headscratcher for sure. Except for Microsoft, nobody ever had much problem shipping 32bit operating systems and applications, for whatever was available. Or maybe Reuters screwed up the answer as well as the question.

Cheers, Dan.
