Thanks for the welcoming 😀

i hope that i can bring something to this board.

Welcome to you, Peter Jørgensen.

Long live DOS! Death to Windows! - That was my feeling back in the day. I was a "reluctant convert" to the modern OS you might say. More like kicking and screaming was more like it.

Eventually, I went along... but I have always had a soft spot in my heart for the old days! Funny thing is, that that same soft spot has grown to include not only DOS, but Windows 95, 98, and even XP. Weird how it got to be that way. 😕

Anyway- Long live the old stuff!! A sentiment that is shared by many of us here at VOGONS. You have certainly come to the right place! 😎

Welcome!

Thanks 😀

i took also pretty long time before i scrap the dos from my system, i think it was first when i move from win98 to win2k, and i do remember if i should change from win98 but i got some new hardware that would not run properly under win98, and i also remember having doubt doing it, and my biggest lost was that i could not play Mech-Warrior 3 any more 🤣.

but today i think that the best Windows ever made was the win2k, and again I first scrap that, then i got hardware problems again 😀
so the day then Vista was release i bought my first Win XP OS disk 🤣,

just a side note today i am running win8 and after some tuning, Then I'm actual like it, it kind of remind me of w2k in not having all of the blink blink.

for me it was losing my job that really started me down the retro way, sometime i think that i am seeking back to where life was more simple, where computer was new, and new stuff was new stuff, not just the same type of game that have been made a 1000 time before.

i think that was my main reason why i bought my Atari ST, but the last couple of months, i have just started to think that many of the best games in the history of computer games was for DOS.
a couple of my favourites was.

Master Of Orion : play that game so much that i dream of in in the night, and in my dream when moving my fleet they move they same way as in the game..

Mechwarrior 2 merc : I loved all of the mech games and still have the all 😀

UFO : it was so spooky to move around on the map

Star Control 2 : On master of Orion and Star Control, i use to put the wildest trance on my stereo when I was playing, to give the Ultimate Space Experience.

i know that they not so wild any more but they where in 93, those 3 tune was on a CD call OHM4000.

yesterday i bought a original xbox for 20€,(My first)
I can see that it is softmoded, but other than that i am so LOST here 😀

long live the old stuff, even though it takes up a lot space 😁
and i think that i will enjoy being here, thanks again for the welcoming

Joe, I could not have said it better myself. Except Win98 was where I dug in my heels and said "this far and no further" - you can keep your XP bloatware with its product activation.

Sorry, didn't have time to read the whole first post, but had a. brief glance. All I can say is that you've come to the right place. Welcome!

I still can't accept 95, 98 or XP. NT4 and Windows 3.x are where I draw the line with MS GUIs.

You mean NT 3.5? NT4 is based on Win95 UI.

Welcome aboard 😀

Hello 😀 your story sounds like mine. When my job become terrible I escaped back to the good old days and picked up a few old hobbies again. And its surprising how much you have to re-learn stuff you are sure you knew, but also how much you remember!
I also have a xbox, I was never really interested in consoles but can I recommend XBMC, its makes it 100% more useful
