"Windows 7 Compatible" PCs Must Be 64-bit
Barence writes "Microsoft has started certifying PCs as 'compatible with Windows 7' — and is looking to avoid the mistakes that dogged the Vista-Capable scheme. Whereas Microsoft certified PCs that could only run Vista Home Basic last time around, this time PCs will have to work with all versions of Windows 7 to qualify for the sticker, including 64-bit versions of the OS. Microsoft also claims, 'products that receive the logo are checked for common issues to minimize the number of crashes, hangs, and reboots experienced by the user.'"
These posts are irrelevant because windows 7 comes in both 32 and 64-bit versions. The article is just talking about little worthless stickies on cases of computer shit that let dumb people know for sure it will work on windows 7 computers.
If that 486 is still running, it is not possible for you to have cold hands.

32-bit? Megabytes of RAM? Meh, kids these days.
If an 8-bit computer with 128 kilobytes of RAM is good enough for PC-DOS 3.3, it should be good enough for everything. Office software? Who needs that junk? WYSIWYG is for posers. They can pry EDLIN from my cold, dead fingers. Why, back in my day we *appreciated* the time it took our software to compute results, and the fact that we couldn't do anything else while it was happening. It gave us time to read the manuals while we were waiting! Those were the days...
Cut that out, or I will ship you to Norilsk in a box.
Do you know why people burn-out so quickly nowadays? No more coffee-breaks while compiling or waiting for a print-job.
Many office worker happily recharged with a cup of joe listening to the gentle banging of the line printer churning out reams of paper.
Ah, happy days... [puts on MP3 of line-printer]

You may solo them, I prefer them in a group.
Still compiling your gentoo, eh?
