Too much of anything is good for nothing, as the saying goes. Saying that, I learnt a lot from computer games - language, vocabulary and general knowledge. As an example, I learnt what "rubble" means from Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis. (FYI, English is not my primary language.) I guess it's …

Posted on 2021-12-23, 13:03
Okay. I get it. I'm silent now. However, I still don't understand that atmosphere. Years ago, people at Vogons usually would have had replied with "thanks for the tip", "interesting idea" etc.. To my defense, I merely came here to help. I haven't posted at Vogons for a longer time, also. Never mind …

Posted on 2021-04-18, 05:14
DOS never died. It's just that DOS is using obligatory GUIs nowadays. And all these GUIs - Windows/Linux/Mac all trying hard to keep the terminals and command prompt to go back to what is best done in DOS-style. DOS never died.
