I do recall somewhere something as old as MS-DOS 5 is still used for rationing systems.

I don't know where I read it the first time but the word "bribe" cropped up in my head. Sorry if I sound stupid... But it is very insane how much the governmental infrastructure relies on Windows, you'd think most of this stuff would be better suited to some form of *NIX...

I too use only ImpulseTracker for MS-DOS, though I run it in DosBOX or a VM running MS-DOS 6 if I felt like experimenting with resonance filters. (Which I don't often, really would be brilliant if these SVN Builds of DosBOX Daum and such could handle MMX properly like VM's do) I also use …

I still like how the IRS tried to bribe Microsoft to extend support even further.

Marketing has been screaming at me for a mobile friendly website. Ew... Even more reason to hate on 2015. Or this whole generation spanning 2007-2015. And speaking of hand coding HTML, this is also how I work surprisingly. I also pay close attention to W3C recommendations and RFC's. You have a …

Not even close... I never understand how so many confuse Japanese with Chinese. Japan doesn't use Han characters in everything. This is basically the Chinese version of Cortana, and it's about as censored and monitored as every other China search engine as far as I know.

What kind of "Magic" are we talking here? And for my contribution to this topic, I listen to shortwave radio does that count as old?

PakScape is what I use to browse HL's pak file. You could use that.

I'm often told 225f is the version to play with Glide but I have a pentium 3 system with voodoo 2 SLI downstairs that get's major FPS tanks whenever elaborate dynamic lighting occurs or multiple fire textures show up.

I don't think Kreshna's hyperlinks qualify as proselytism, they're wikipedia articles. I've often hyperlinked words to relevant articles to explain what the word means. But anyways, again. I wish the best of you Kreshna, your mother had quite a well lived life it seems. Really amazing story you've …

No, the only way a "downgrade" patch could exist is if the 224v and 225f patches existed without the delta compression method. ut436nodelta patch is the only thing that can overwrite a GOTY version of UT99 to make it appear like a retail version, for example.

Speaking of protocol changes. Unreal was quite notorious about that, and there are people still trying to get pre 224 stuff working under 224 and beyond. And that's really weird about platinum collection CD. I always wondered why those mods were on the CS disc.

Well I guess PCEm and a lot of other things are out of the question since I'm stuck on such a poor mans CPU... I'll give this VBox5 a try if I can find time to get it setup.
