Every OS Sucks

Post by DTS »

http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/ ... y-OS-Sucks

From 2 and a 1/2 years ago, but still funny. Still pretty relevant: Windows 7 might not be crash happy, but it ain't half clunky and slow at times.

Searched for it here, seems it hasn't been posted before.

I'm getting a zero reading on my lolometer. Either broken or not funny, can anyone else confirm?

i suspect the reason it hasn't been posted here before now is because it is in fact not funny at all

Maybe you have to remember how well those old (early) computers ran?

They didn't run well at all. Loading a program meant swapping out between six 5" floppies for 10 mintues only to have the computer report a disk error on disk 6 and freeze. I do not miss those days at all and have zero nostalgia for those horrid floppy shitting pieces of yellowing plastic.

It's a post from DTS: not worth reading.

No, but it is fun waving the moronometer in his general direction every once and while and watch the lights flash like NORAD at midnight of the doomsday clock.

No it didn't. Most Amiga games came on one disk and didn't take anything like 10 mins to load :rolleyes:

LOL... anyone remember having to set up IRQ and DMA channels? Oh, stupid old computers... I can see why DTS loves working with machines as brain dead as he is.

Those stand alone DOS setup programs that you had to run for every game...

Both gold :olo:

Speaking of old computers, I was looking for an old C64 game called "Boulder Dash". Not sure you've played it then have a lookie :D

I have been hooked for a couple of weeks now :smirk:

Edit: just for Eraser :)

It's spelled "Boulder Dash", I believe, and it's only a google search away. There's half a billion different versions of the game though.

I invented a game called "Balder Gash" and the gameplay is you have to shave a college girl's twat in under 10 seconds.

Holy crap, reminds me of some old school sex game from the mid [early?] '90s where you literally had to shave a vagina. It featured some UK newspaper model iirc. Can't remember the name.
