Hi Geoff,

Yes, you're right. Forgot about that.
When I switched to Linux from my X86 pc and later from my Mac's it is all so
transparent working on a single operating system, Linux, that I completely
forgot about the hardware architectures. I mean, the implementations are so
brilliant that one tends to forget about the hardware limitations :-)

Thanks for the reminder.

Cheers,

Mike
