[brudgers]

Immutable hardware requires [an analogous] garbage collector.

Most of the next machine would have the same state as the old one:

  ; Machine -> Machine
  ; Makes the next machine
  (define (next-machine m)
    (make-machine
      (machine-name m) 
      (machine-cpu m)
      (machine-storage m)
      (update-os CURRENT-OS)
      (machine-applications m)))
