Dos!!!

Guess what's running on my G5?!! DOS. Ahhhh, this brings back sooooo many great memories.

I just started up Dune, now I need to figure out how to get the sound going. This runs fast, just like Virtual PC did on my old G3 333. Microsofts current incarnation of VPC, runs at full speed, but is a bug filled bucket of vomit. They really f*ed up a great program, I wish Connectix would've never sold out to them. But anyways, DosBox is freee and so far it runs great.

I don't know about you, but my fondest memories of computers were with DOS. My old 386DX 40 was my very first built from scratch computer. And this is when all of the greats were out, like Monkey Island and Wing Commander. I loved these games. I wouldn't trade my current comps for an old computer, but now days, things just arn't the same. I'll never be as excited about a computer as I was about my first XT, or that 386.

Blah. Rambles!!!
