But think of all the microcode the Intel engineers wrote, and how much
you're using that.  That's cheating.  Okay, so you have to design your
own CPU, motherboard, hardware, etc.  But wait-- think of all the work
that went into inventing the transistor.   You use it-- that's cheating,
too...

Face it-- you can't do anything all by yourself, so why even try?
