 This is an utterly stupid thing to say, im not calling you stupid
 but what you said here is stupid.

 There are very real reasons for keeping the underpinnings
 free of complexity dumbfuckery.

  cat /dev/scd0 > /ImageOfCdrom.iso

 Get the idea ?

 it would be the same as you using the dos shell builtin
 TYPE to spool off a raw device to a file, such as here to
 grab the original master image off a cdrom.

 the interfaces are have remained common sense
 and easy to use because it would be utter stupid
 and serve no use to do otherwise.

 this is what you call primitive ?

 I see if winblows cant do it, then its "primitive" .

 If not then perhaps you could clarify.
