- If you use the OS then your program will run on a large variety of

- You can run it from HD. You do not have to reboot afterwards.

- That's what the problem is. Hardware banging programs take over the
- whole machine. Hardware banging alone is possible with the OS, although
- not necessarily the best thing to do.
