Well, one thing for sure is that I Don't Want To Miss A Thing.

Any thinking person would have realized when he was transferred to the second institution after trying to have a witness whacked that he was going to be placed in a cell with an informant. I mean, duh.
I really have to wonder about the pay level. I can still remember what my first intership paid: $7.37 an hour -- in 1986.
While I appreciate your strawman, I'm typing this on a (64-bit) PPC machine. The idea that Aunt Millie might be running a 2005-vintage Mac Mini, for example, is hardly unrealistic.
Aunt Millie runs 'Doubleplus Dope Recipe Manager 3.0' on her 32-bit PPC-based machine. Aunt Sue wants a copy. Aunt Millie (who couldn't tell you what CPU is in her computer if you put a gun to her head) knows that she can drag a copy of DDRM3.0 from her Applications directory to a USB stick and hand the USB stick to Aunt Sue, who can drag DDRM3.0 from the USB stick to her Applications folder on her X86-64-based machine and run it. Neither of them had to run an installer, neither is terribly informed about the architecture of their computer.
When friends and relatives ask me for advice about buying a computer, I always mention that, if they run OSX or any Linux distro, I will be happy to support them for free, but that I refuse to work on Windows PCs, as there are not enough hours in my day to try to support it.
No amount of careful planning will ever replace dumb luck.
