You know, those mobile phones and PDAs and embedded processors, they tend to be rather similar to regular computers. What's the point of your distinction?
I run Ruby/Pd/GridFlow on a NetWinder computer, which is a *very* small "desktop" box containing roughly the same kind of processor (StrongARM V4L at 166 MHz) you find in an iPaq or a Zaurus.
go on http://linuxdevices.com/articles/AT8728350077.html and count how many of them use StrongARM or MIPS or PPC.
Anyway, it's better to have a name for an integer you might later cast to pointer - makes it more readable.
What does that mean??? We're not debating that. We're debating whether that should be sometimes an int, sometimes a long, or whether it should be always a long.
