bootup theory:

• OS messages should give complete indications of what is happening that is otherwise hidden. Three modes: visual, audio, or text. Should be enough to make things manageable, sane, and informative.
• News messages at the CLI are akin to the "front page" of SE. Considered push media as opposed to merely knowledge dissemiation like OS messages, or pull.
• Bootup should test ONLY and EVERY function needed to get to the command line. Color bar in this OS would be smart, perhaps every character and every text cell, audio beeps, memory, CPU self-test?, etc.
