- You are right. 100% right. Everyone SHOULD go out and buy a CD-ROM.
-
- BUT THEY HAVEN'T. SO WHO CARES! Sure the world would be a better place
- if everyone had CD-ROMs. But if they *DON'T* then selling an OS only
- on CD-ROM is sorta silly, isn't it!
-
- I think everybody should have DSPs on their motherboard. But I'm not about
- to write an OS that REQUIRES a DSP. Because even though it's a good idea,
- it's just not out there!
-
- It's just an example, no flames about the relative merits of DSPs, please!
