I'm holding out for the 128bit chips. And retirement. By 2038 the only computer I'll be using is the implant used to change the stream from DisneyTimeWarnerMGMFoxNetflix Media Corp over the 8G wireless into my isolation pod where my body eat is used to power Google Matrix and I'm fed by tubes.

What do you mean it's a 32-bit device?

 What year is this anyway? 

Oh, crap.
