- Well, maybe your logic is weaker... but it is clear that without the OS
- there is
-
- no HD access.
- no support for systems with graphics cards.
- no multitasking.
- no return to the OS besides rebooting.
-
- Any other claim is _definitely_ wrong.

- Explanation ? Existing games & demos fail to satisfy any of
- my requirements. Examples ? Get an arbitrary game and check facts.

- Oh, then it is good code to crash the machine ?
-
- I have more than just a "basis" for such a generalisation. In fact,
- it isn't really a generalisation because close to all products
- from our beloved c00l c0d3rz do not satisfy even one of my
- requirements. And from statements given in this group I believe
- this is done intentionally.
