I must concur. As it stands, it's a neat piece of code, and bravo for doing it all in assembler. But really, what is this good for? I can edit some text docs, play Tetris, play CD's, etc. Can I get online? Use it as a very simple email terminal? Read the news headlines? No. Throw in a simple browser and some network support, then you have a valuable product!!
"the majority of people using computers will never have the know-how or courage to make an OS change "
Most people will never have a need for a change. The average user gets done what they need to with Windows. They send email, surf the web, play games, manage documents. This is all most people want to do. Most users have no need to change their OS, even less need to venture off into uncharted waters.
The country, the planet, the species, we all need, nay, REQUIRE a cheap, replenishable fuel source, and right quick! If we could slap an array of solar cells on every home's roof and a fuel cell in the basement, and do it for around $10K US, WOW...imagine the uses for the dollars normally spent on heating, cooling and electric! Plus, no appreciable pollution.....COME ON PEOPLE!! We have to get behind these energy alternatives and make them work, stop sucking on the teat of big oil.
