Screw backwards compatibility...  If we're going to take a step ahead we
can't be looking back...  I'm sick of using a weak processor (80x86)
series and a week OS series (DOS) simply because people want backwards
compatibility...  I mean, I'm glad that so much stuff will run on my
computer and stuff, but I'm getting sick of being tied down by the past.
We could have such better processors (Alphas) by now if we weren't so
damned worried about still being able to run QEdit and Space Invaders.
