I second that!  Just imagine the benefits:

   1.) No more hassels with porting software between platforms.
   2.) No more hassels reading flame wars over whose platform
   is the best.(so that we can port from it anyway)
   3.) No more wrist problems, eye problems, social problems.
   4.) No more hassels over whether you have TOS, Unix or NOT[x].
   5.) Addendum to 4: No more mind boggling recursive aliases(Mint, Gnu)
   6.) No more worries over whether the $$$ you just shelled out
   on the latest software or hardware will become wasted in 30 mintues. 
   (For those using Apple's, etc who boycotted the FSF)
   7.) Sleep would become an actual possibility.
   8.) No more fears of an impending global nuclear war
   because some kid nick-named "Terminator" hacked a little too much.

p.s. I forgot to mention:  no more hassles about 'hassels'
being sent world-wide within a 24 hour period which indicate
that one is a sloppy typer.
