Re: Re: st: "Fixing" all windows (Results, command, review and variables) with Stata 11 for Mac

This is silly. That company doesnt give a hoot about backward
compatibility. They screw the developers every 5 years. If no one is
using it and no one is writing programs for it, then yes you can go
64-bit painlessly. You arent going to miss what you didnt have.

> To add one objective point to Phil's comments: as some of my Windows-using colleagues have recently experienced, moving from 32-bit Windows to 64-bit Windows is not painless. All Mac OS X systems (like most Linux and Unix systems out there) are fully 64-bit, and all Mac hardware is 64-bit. That allows you to use all of that expensive RAM you installed in your system within Stata and other memory-hungry apps.
