   For me, until Arca becomes 64-bit and multi-user, it's still "crippled" for   
   my personal everyday use.  You can fudge multi-user by slapping on   
   Security/2 but the 32-bit you can't work around.

   I love computers and electronics, especially my beloved amateur radio, but I   
   also like to get outside too so cars came naturally to me.  These days, I'm   
   looking at getting into fishing as a side hobby since I'm evidently in   
   fishing country out here.
