OK, I see the smiley, and as Unix (Linux and Solaris, with Solaris use  
declining :) user, I feel your pain, but this is a bit unfair. 

Anyways, rather than invest effort in .NET, I'd much rather that the full 
language and libraries operate as much the same on all supported platforms as
possible, in particular, ObjectIO and Dynamics. I know, that's a lot of work. 

And while wishing, I wish I knew that Clean would be working on the full
range of 64 bit processors as well...
