  18.    Just what we need, more hardware hackers writing programs that break
  19. on anything other than the specific hardware they were written for.  No
  20. thanks, I'll take a good Os interface (and software written to use it)
  21. so my software still works when I upgrade my computer.
  22.  
  23.    Anyone who thinks hardware-banging is a great idea probably never
  24. upgraded from his A500.  IMHO of course.
