Why don't we use 16 bit apps anymore, they worked? The answer is because the libraries they depend on are no longer 16 bit. Getting 32 bit code to work on a 64

Why don't we use 16 bit apps anymore, they worked? The answer is because the libraries they depend on are no longer 16 bit. Getting 32 bit code to work on a 64 bit system involves having BOTH the 32 and 64 bit versions of the library installed. Using which program you want to use, 64 or 32 bit, is not a choice like a window manager; you should use the one that is supported by your system. If your system is 64 bit, it supports 64 bit apps. The fact that it CAN run 32 bit apps is just an extra.
And personally, yes, I could easily blow this limit if I allowed my normal browsing behavior to blossom (that is having lots of tabs I want to reference later and leaving them open).
