<Sonki, you should ask others on the thread to respond to your question. My husband is very, very busy. I doubt that I will have a chance to talk to him today.> Not trying to be rude, but you wouldn't even have time to talk to your hubby? Seems like he's putting his career ahead of you. Don't get me wrong, money & career are very important, but I will never place them ahead of my family. If I lose all my money and my job tomorrow, I still can find another job and start making money again. But if I lose my family and love ones, I will never ever get them back. By the same token, I will always find time to talk to my girlfriend no matter where I am. Perhaps that's because I am not marry and still trying to convince her to marry me one day. So I have to find time for her, your husband probably won't have to worry about that. Your husband MUST be a lucky guy.

actually sun has been a little been late with full 64 bit but their implementation is the most clean since all exisiting 32 bit apps run unmodified - other 64 bit implementations required a complete upgrade or recompilation of applications. Also IBM doesnt have the same 64 bit OS running on the entire line of its hardware - in contrast 64 bit Solaris 7 runs on everything from a desktop workstation to a clustered E10000 with 256 processors. All Sun Ultrasparcs are 64 bit so theve been selling 64 bit hardware for years - file sizes have been greater than 4 gig though with 2.6 - so they had some workaround for a while.
