A man's reach should exceed his grasp, or what's a heaven for?
I have no problem with most developers churning out third rate applications to make a quick buck on the latest fad gadget that'll be forgotten two weeks after it gets released. If that's what most developers want to do, then that's up to them and I wish them the very best of luck. I just happen to see more to life than that. In no way can I be expected to start writing an operating system now, I think I've made this very clear. That's why I'm studying software engineering for 4 years at university. If I can't program, why have all but one of my releases been in Mac Format and how would I get into university to study software engineering in the first place? I must be doing something right; all five universities I applied to gave me offers. This is something that I am doing and nobody sat behind a keyboard on the other side of the planet can change that. Sorry to disappoint.

These are the two text for my OS unit. You might benefit from picking them up before "college" or whatever you crazy yanks call it and giving them a read.
