Chuck might agree:

"Portability is not important. Portability is not possible. Real applications are closely
coupled to hardware. Change the platform and all the code changes. If it didn't, you
wouldn't have changed the platform. To abstract the problem from the hardware
requires massive software like Windows, that's a permanent tax on all applications
to save some one-time programming."
