alice-teacher installation on new 64 bit server

[Terry Sacket]

Ella,

My lab this summer is about to be upgraded to 64 bit for we need to run
CS5 that requires it.  You question suggests this might be a mixed bag
when running Alice which I use in Com Sci II.  Is it a problem to upgrade
computers to 64 bit?

Thanks

Terry

There are three principal means of acquiring knowledge available to us:
observation of nature, reflection, and experimentation. Observation
collects facts; reflection combines them; experimentation verifies the
result of that combination. Our observation of nature must be diligent,
our reflection profound, and our experiments exact. We rarely see these
three means combined; and for this reason, creative geniuses are not
common. - Denis Diderot (1713-84), French philosopher.
