Why that's gentlemanly of you.

It's mind-boggling that for hundreds of years at
least there were printed books, mass-printed or
since the invention of printing presses and movable
type, and that for at least 150 years there's been
photography, for where the graphical renditions
were painting or drawing, or statuary or what,
that since about 25 years ago there are small-screen
full-motion high-resolution displays, each different
yet all same, yet of course it is still in a sense
pixels, blits, drawing primitives, and sprites,
vis-a-vis the procedural and high-level procedural,
sadly an entire generation is myopic and reading has
suffered, I think screens should be banned for youth,
so they have to learn how to read to get their giggles,
though that's impractical, point being that somebody
needs to know the entire stack of the things at
least in gross detail that thusly the efforts of
"make a new one", while daunting, at least have
a total embarrassment of computing resources the
hardware, that if all the lately bloatware and
various other kinds of wares that are of no interest
to the user of the device, were gone, then implementors
of course can make astounding demos, and even simple
entire systems that are all quite bog-standard.
