No, its far more likely that because this system says its a 32 bit 
system, google is refusing to show me the amd64 version. But I need ti 
figure out how to re-install the 32 bit iceweasel because thats what my 
bank expects, unless someone can tell me how to import the iceweasel 
saved site list and passwds into Chromium.
