Glad to see the DosBox people join the VOGONS "team". We look forward to much enjoyment...and lots of arguing.

BTW, I got dibs on the first post in the new forum. Woohoo!

Glad to be on "board"

If all goes well I should be able to post more information here shortly. But I'm not a native english speaker so I'm not that fond of putting sticky topics about dosbox.

Interesting. So that post you just made, was done how?

Qbix, I can edit your stickies to make sure they're grammatically correct. You do a very good job of speaking English anyway so I wouldn't worry too much.

Yes, it’s my fault.

English...TEACHER?

There's an easy way to figure it out.

Take out the third party and say the sentence.

"Why don't you come with John and me." =>
"Why don't you come with me."
"Why don't you come with John and I." =>
"Why don't you come with I."

I used to correct people in 5th grade that used me/I like that, 😜

Yes, it’s my fault.

Hold on. That sounds all wrong. I can't think of any situation where I would say "with I".

"I didn't go alone. Susan came along with I."
*gah*
Looks and sounds horrid.

Erm, maybe I'm missing something, but wasn't that precisely what Snover was trying to illustrate? 😀

BTW, just noticed this DOSbox board moved to VOGONS - way to go. I'm off to download the latest CVS build and see if Magic Carpet works 😀 Please God......
