[Bf-committers] No 64 bits Blender in OSX.... :(

[Chris Burt]

There is also a 64-bit version of Windows to be release very soon (if 
not already) if I'm not mistaken. I'm sure someone could compile a 
64-bit version for that platform. Then Windows and Linux would be 
frontrunner.

Regards,
--Chris

P.S. Sorry to hear your disappointment ton! You seem genuinely bummed 
out about this. Just gotta poke Apple and let them no how sorry it is!
