|    hardware abstraction    |

      From: muta...@gmail.com              Scott pointed out that the IBM PC is the exception for       using a BIOS.              But the existence of the BIOS allows me to boot from a       USB stick as a hard disk. That is fantastic.              There is a hardware device that converts RS232 into       Wifi.              But surely the proper solution is to put not just this but       also the printer into the BIOS and abstract the hardware?              BFN.
