OK. Tell me where 32bit is important in a newsreader.
I think it's time for you to stop reading those tech sheets and take a long
hard look at the real world. Why use 32bit? Just becuase it sounds better?
The program (esp. one as simple as a newsreader) could quite possibly be
just as fast, if not faster, and probably also a fair bit smaller if it was
16bit rather than 32.
