Nah, he's no crothity grandfather...... he's some celler dweller kid - remember my age, anyone 10 years or more younger is a kid to me - who really doesn't know what it was like back in the DOS days...which is okay, no biggie you can tell 'cause he has to look stuff up before he "responds" in the negative.... doesn't dare get into it like we do... but nah, no hard feelings or anything like that....who says I can't pick back? Hey, do you remember Q-Modem terminal program? (Yea, raideretter, it was a protocall, but also the name of the aforementioned program...saved you some time there checking it out....More time to do those chores Mommy wants you to do...) And remember when Z-Modem was the fastest? Hmmm.... recalling either a language or graphics called Avatar back then - not like what that word is used for now - does that jar any memory cells? oh, that push/pop stuff was I *think* assembly... never got into that... |

Don't mind RW's little rant SlowCoder, says a lot about him, not much about me.

okay, here's some little ol' tidbits as my seniel brain comes up for air . . .. Remember . . . ... oh... these are still out there...if ya want em, let me know... LIST??? LIST.COM wow, one of the cream of the DOS utilities back then...text reader to you young folks...had the ability to clone itself if you wanted to change attributes... SLED.....Simple Little EDitor..... a ton of bells & whistles in a 17k - that's k, not m, folks - package..... like LIST, one file, could clone... Remember ZOO? Like ZIP and RAR, a compression utility GREP? Remember that? Heh..... is this what it's coming to.....old moldy guy here reminicing about the past... Let it be a lesson to you young folks: The stuff you're currently enjoying at the present will be the retro nostalgia of the future |

Rogerwilco and SlowCoder, I believe I can learn a lot from you guys. Heck perhaps I am probably half your age (27) but my first computer was a 4/86 with 240 megabytes of harddrive, 4 megabytes of ram, VGA screen and then it was dos 6. something (and Windows 3.11) . But still I began reading about the old days before that. And began getting an intrest in old hardware and what not, perhaps I can´t program for shit (sorry to all the moderators that I cursed , but other than that then carry on). But I did learn a lot from reading manuals for dos (the DOS cookbook or something like that) . But still your conversation is to me something I think is awesome to read, so please continue since to me, I hope I can bring in some joy to the mix, by learning from you guys
