I'm going to sue Apple for requiring my password to be too long. It's a major inconvenience on my life that I have to type a longer password than I want, even though I want a password, making it take an infinitesimally longer than it would if I had a smaller password!

So my late 2013 27” iMac 14,2 will run Catalina but should I upgrade? I was called away from my desk when the macOS announcements were being made. Any mention of Catalina being 64bit only or has Apple kicked that can of worms down the road?

It's 64-bit only, it was announced as expected.

I have a couple of questions regarding this service that weren't brought up on the video.

1) Will they have overseas servers (as I live in Australia and the lag would be in the 100's of milliseconds at best if the server is in the US)?
2) What connection to the internet is required for fast speeds? (ADSL 2 and above?)

Cheers Dr Hawk

This is just the very first examination of the service. I'll pass your questions on. 

Regarding internet speed, Nvidia recommends 50Mbit speed for 1080p, 20Mbit for 720p, and at least 10Mbit to work at all.

According to the email which informed me of my acceptance to the beta, it states that one must live within the United States or Canada. Direct quote from email:
"To participate in the beta, you need a compatible Mac computer with a 25 Mbps Internet connection, and to be located in the continental United States or Canada. "

So initially, it seems that there is no viable service outside the U.S. or Canada.
