Just have to pipe in here and say it erks me when people spell color with a "u." I don't know why, not that I'm against different spellings/languages/cultures, it just looks funny. Like you didn't study too well in grade school. 
Anyway, I think 16 bit is just fine. We have a long wish list of processor power and memory to get through before 32 bits would be a true benefit.

Actually, I knew that. It just always makes me do a double-take. It got me thinking though about where this all came about. Did a google search and found an interesting theory if not the actual history itself.

Check out the paragraph about British Spellings.

:mrgreen:
Here in Europe, it's mostly British English that is taught in public schools; this is why Europeans also tend to use the British spelling.

Seems to me the British were speaking English long before anyone on this side of the Atlantic was.

I think that would be "irks", if we're being picky about spelling.
