Folks on Macs may want to start checking their current machines to see if there are any 32 bit apps hidden away. Besides old games, you could have 32 bit apps in driver sets for printers, scanners, external devices like WD passports, and definitely in Adobe products.
To find the 32 bit apps...select: Apple logo in the top left corner -> About This Mac -> System Report -> Applications (under Software). As needed widen the screen so you can see the column on the right labeled 64-Bit (Intel). Click on that field name to get it to sort the No answers to the top. Those are the 32 bit apps that need to be updated with 64 bit versions....or perhaps they are no longer needed at all. When in doubt, check with the app vendor.
