Thank you very much, thats much better.

This has really helped me to see that my friend Reverend Perv was quite 
likely correct back when the 286 came out that the best solution would be 
to jump directly to 128 bits due to that being sufficient bits to 
individually address each fundamental particle in the universe - according 
to the estimates at that time as to how many protons might exist, how 
many neutrons might exist, and how many electrons might exist. Possibly 
nowadays the number of particles that might need addressing might be 
higher. How many bits does a photon have, in order that of all the 
electrons in the universe only the specific electron addressed by that 
photon reacts to it to result in the appearance of a 'particle' nature to 
what might actually be implemented as an omnidirectional wave?

Oh well, just another upgrade cycle, on with the show. Sorry to bother you 
about it.  ;-)

Blessed Be. -MarkM-
