Once all the remaining matches have been used to create a pointless sculpture instead of lighting fires.

You can't really say you are "using an operating system" when it is stripped down to run a single repeating routine.


Or like one of those handheld electronic solitaire games, say... which are just about as user-facing as a dedicated ereader. I wouldn't call that "using an operating system" if all you are using, or can use, by design, is one software interface overlaid on top.
