Martin,

I believe that a lot of these companies have people working on 64 bit
versions of their next major upgrades and stuff but it wouldn't be to their
benefit to announce it because people would think their current offerring
are inferior and would wait for 64 bit versions, so they act like no plans
are in the works and as if it's not even needed so they can continue to sell
their current offerrings. That's what i believe anyway.
I had just upgraded to lightwave 8, and upgrading again to a 64bit version
would mean having to load new 64bit OS which i keep holding off doing, even
though i've had the new OS disc here over 2 weeks now.
:)
