I can't speak to local conditions, but vista64 seems to be standard on 4GB retail PCs in the US now.

Not in India. My laptop can have 4 GB RAM and it has 32 bit OS.

I was referring to the installed amount, not the max supported. All the 3gb/vista32 boxes on the market support a 4th gb (or more) in hardware.

Been there, done that - the machine I was upgraded to at work 18 months ago has 4GB RAM and 32-bit Windows XP, so 0.75GB is never used.

I am typing on an 32 bit XP SP3 machine with 4 GB of memory. All the developers have them. Last year they cost around $650 USA each. I plan on converting mine to either xp64 or win7 64 bit soon but that will render me offline for 2 or more days while I reinstall / rebuild everything. Anyways this machine gives me access to 3.5GB. I had another machine with video on the motherboard that only gave 2.8GB before I tweaked the BIOS to give 3.25. Either way for a single process the limit is less than 3GB even with the /3GB switch and /LARGEADDRESSAWARE.

If a book is out of copyright can you use its contents in any way you like? Reprint it, copy the illustrations etc.?

As I understand it, once the copyright on a piece of work expires (70 years after the author's death) then the work becomes part of the public domain and can therefore be used for free in any way you like. There are a couple of exceptions - e.g. the copyright to Peter Pan is owned by the Great Ormond Street hospital - but I think they're few and far between.
HTH
PS. IANAL!
It definitely isn't definatley

Well that's my impression too but I was just getting into a discussion on it elsewhere and wanted to check with the experts.

Actually, GOSH requested a sequel to be written as the original copyright has expired, and they used the monies from that as part of the funding.
Even if rights are transferred, once the 70 years is up, it is free to be used.
The Recording Artists rights are up after 50 years from date of release, so 1959 records are now coming out of copyright, so expect a lot of rock and roll, Cliff Richard, Elvis etc to be hitting the markets!

From the same site you quote in your other post http://www.copyrightservice.co.uk/copyright/p10_duration[^]
A notable exception: Peter Pan
The copyright for JM Barrie’s work Peter Pan, was due to expire in 1987 in the UK, but an amendment to the 1988 Copyright Designs and Patents Act (instigated by Lord Callaghan) was passed to allow the copyright to run indefinitely in the UK. Any royalties are to be paid to the trustees of the Hospital for Sick Children, Great Ormond Street, London, for as long as the hospital exists.

Ah thank you, I was unaware, however they did also get a sequel for this reason.

It was the new thing when DD was growing up. Maybe even a bit advanced for him. let him enjoy it!

Back in the days when if you wanted a word processor, you programmed it yourself.
When real programming meant reducing lines and algorithms to the smallest degree so that it would fit into the tiny memory available!
(48K of addressable RAM!)
When the universe was half it's current size!

Young Whipper-Snapper!
At least I have the 80's to look back on!
ZX Spectrum, BBC B, Commodore C64, TSR-80, Dragon, Oric, VIC20, Apple ][e, TI99-4a, and they were just the home machines!
All different, all had to be learnt from scratch.
I used a Research Machines 380z at school!
56K, twin floppy, mono screen and we loved it!
What will you look back on in 20 years?

When real programming meant using "undocumented features" in the silicon - you could swap nibbles in the Z80 in one machine cycle using DAA badly!
"Word Processor" Hah! We had to hand code our own text editor! Word wrap was for "posh" machines with spare processing power.
When getting more memory meant out with the wire wrapping tools and ferrite beads.
When you had to delete all the comments to fit the source on a single floppy to assemble it. (I am ashamed to say I did this - I even wrote a quick program to do it which is probably even worse...)

Only using 1 letter variables!
? instead of PRINT
Writing a loader, loading into memory, dumping loader so that you had enough ram to operate in!
Those were the days!
(I also remember WordStar[^] Gosh that was a long time ago now!

I wasn't senior enough to be allowed wordstar - we had edlin[^] of all things. The concept of editing a file you can't see seems very strange nowadays...

I've just discovered that Edlin[^]came back with NT! It still works in XP - and worse I can remember how to use the damn thing...
