<p class=MsoNormal>Don't take this the wrong way, but the Internet is really
good for drawing like people together more than people who disagree. All of the
social networking concepts really encourage you to follow people who are
like-minded - blogs, facebook, twitter, etc. I wouldn't be surprised that
people who follow your blog want 64 bit more than cross platform.<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>I have to agree with you on
that though, I have seen much more of a demand for 64 bit than cross platform.
But in NZ, we tend to be outliers rather than the norm. Malcolm is responsible
for pretty much all of Asia/Pacific - so his territory covers NZ, Australia,
India, Taiwan, Korea, China, South East Asia, Singapore and I think Japan.
Thats a lot of differing opinion - and I suspect the growing number of Mac
people in "real life" is contributing towards it.<o:p></o:p></p>

his numbers because the empirical evidence seems to contradict his figures
