"Real applications are closely coupled to hardware." In other words, "real" applications are applications that can't be ported. Well, duh. There are billions of lines of code out there in unreal apps, and not enough real or virtual Chucks to fix them all every time the hardware changes. Portability is incredibly important, and it's achievable. We'd still be on 8 bit steam driven chips if Chuck was even half ways right, and we're not. -- Alex
