    64 bit they were complaining about being overhyped because it was. Until you were able to get almost any app in 64 bit it was useless for all but the most tech savvy.

    I still remember when it was a big deal when programs like Google Chrome started releasing 64 bit versions… and Chrome didn’t get its first official stable 64 bit version until 2014, a whole 6 years after this article was made.

      yeah seriously. I mean until mac killed off 32 bit people still weren’t serious about it. There are to this day tons of video games that are still made 32 bit.
