Well, 32-bit is more than Windows 95, which is only partially 32-bit, to
ensure Windows 3.1 compatibility. NT's full-blown 32-bit, so is Linux ,
Solaris, HP-UX, SGI Irix...
Anyway, beats 16-bitters... ;-)
BTW, to make this on topic, when did Macs make the transition to 32-bit, or
were all 32 bit from day one?
Ciao,

Don't forget me! I'm from 1982, so does that make me IBM compatible?
32-bit isn't all that great, especially considering Win'95... ;-)
Everyone on this list predates the PC, except for maybe
that Seagraves
punk.
And Tim Hotze, Max Eskin.... anybody else?

I seem to recall being told that they were 32bit from the start hardware
wise but they were using the top 8bits of addresses? for something else,
making them really 24bit systems. This hurt Apple and their software
developers later on. I've got a set of the white Inside Mac at home,
perhaps I should look them up.
