2) Message boards : Number crunching : Time to drop 32 bit OS? (Message 96536) Posted 15 May 2020 by michelv Post: 32 bit (Win+Lin)= 2,343 Gflops 64 bit (Win+Lin)= 529,782 Gflops Yeah, just set an EOL notice, something like a few months. Less than one percent usage with all the related maintenance costs: go for it.

7) Questions and Answers : Windows : Rosetta doesn't work on windows XP (Message 93206) Posted 3 Apr 2020 by michelv Post: I hope they will not restore support for an official EOL (end of life, dead, dangerous, outdated, do-not-use, extremely easy to hack) operating system.

8) Message boards : Cafe Rosetta : Why is the website not fully https?
