Uhr, if you could make a ROM file containing your program, it'd crash pretty
quickly, since the services the kernel provides aren't there. No
filesystem, no memory management, no scheduler => no processes, no device
management, no networking or communications of any sort, and no console so
no user I/O! It'd be like burning something like the in-memory image of
EDIT.COM to ROM without DOS - you wouldn't get very far.

The true reason behind all geekdom - long live useless projects!
