I'm getting the general impression that I should avoid 64-bit to make

No, you should make the jump and adapt (with VMware or some other
method) or dump the really old 16 bit programs. Most 32 bit stuff will
still run. It's time, and it will be the last major change for a very
long time.

Is there any way to tell what type a specific program is? I haven't
updated my PSpice since 2003 when OrCAD Crapture and Cadence stopped
improving PSpice (simulator) and tried to force everyone onto Crapture
:-(

Hillary has the charisma of a steamy warm turd.

Jeb Bush has the charisma of a fresh cow-patty.

A political contest guaranteed to stink :-}
