	I suspect that your action would not go very far, you don't
	have to many legal legs to stand on. Apple never promised you
	32-bit compatability. 

	However I suspect that 7.0 will probably contain patches to
	create a 32 bit clean environment. Someone indicated this to
	me in a recent reply and that makes much more sense than some
	massive hardware upgrade program. Unless there is someone that
	can say for proof positive that Apple cannot patch their own
	firmware in the system software to create a 32-bit clean
	environment.....
