The tracks are available in CD, cassette combination, CD/DVD, Vinyl, it*s on iTunes, oh my. #20 this week on the Net Music Countdown Linkin Park with Breaking the Habit.

So if you like fantasy sports and you like music this is the game for you. www.fantasymusicleague.com. It is 25 before the hour. Max Smart from the Family Tech Show is with us. We are answering questions about anything having to do with high tech and before we went to the break we were talking about fat binaries, quad-fat binaries and whatnot. That basically is a piece of software that has more than one version of the software inside it, nested inside it. And depending upon what kind of machine you run like in the old days either the 68,000 series Motorola chips or the new 040 and then the three digit chips that they came out with the PowerPC chips.

Max: Like 601s, 602s.

David Lawrence: Right it would choose which version of the software was inside. The problem was it doubled the size of the application almost.

Max: Almost right.

David Lawrence: It took up a space on hard drives which was pretty pricey in those days.

Max: And that*s what was nice about NeXT is that you have got about a 20% kit in binary size for architecture because the way the NeXT operating system and now Mac OS X through the Cocoa layer the window exists within the operating system unlike Win32 where you have to include all the code for the window.

David Lawrence: Right.

Max: So what you do is you inherit. You say I want a window that*s blue and your code only is give me a blue window and here*s the properties I want in the window and the OS creates the window. So your code is not in there. Think of fat-binaries as a word document with multiple languages in it and at the top it says click here for English, click here for French and click here for German. That*s the best analogy I have for multi architecture. For PC run, let*s say an Intel is the French version, a SPARC is a German version and your PowerPC is the English version.
