- I second that! Just imagine the benefits:
-
- 1.) No more hassels with porting software between platforms.
- 2.) No more hassels reading flame wars over whose platform
- is the best.(so that we can port from it anyway)
- 3.) No more wrist problems, eye problems, social problems.
- 4.) No more hassels over whether you have TOS, Unix or NOT[x].
- 5.) Addendum to 4: No more mind boggling recursive aliases(Mint, Gnu)
- 6.) No more worries over whether the $$$ you just shelled out
- on the latest software or hardware will become wasted in 30 mintues.
- (For those using Apple's, etc who boycotted the FSF)
- 7.) Sleep would become an actual possibility.
- 8.) No more fears of an impending global nuclear war
- because some kid nick-named "Terminator" hacked a little too much.

- p.s. I forgot to mention: no more hassles about 'hassels'
- being sent world-wide within a 24 hour period which indicate
- that one is a sloppy typer.
